We report the first example of cooperative catalysis by DBU and CuCl2, which allows the carboxylation of homopropargylic amines to high value added 6-methylene-1,3-oxazin-2-ones. This reaction also represents the first efficient method for the catalytic incorporation of CO2 into an acyclic substrate to give oxazinones. DFT calculations are in agreement with a mechanism involving: a) deprotonation of the substrate by DBU; b) CO2 capture with formation of a copper carbamate; c) 6-exo-dig cyclization through intramolecular triple bond insertion; and d) protonolysis, with regeneration of DBU and CuCl2 catalysts. The structure of a representative product has been confirmed by XDR analysis.

Abstract

We report the first example of cooperative catalysis by DBU and CuCl2, which allows the carboxylation of homopropargylic amines to high value added 6-methylene-1,3-oxazin-2-ones. This reaction also represents the first efficient method for the catalytic incorporation of CO2 into an acyclic substrate to give oxazinones. DFT calculations are in agreement with a mechanism involving: a) deprotonation of the substrate by DBU; b) CO2 capture with formation of a copper carbamate; c) 6-exo-dig cyclization through intramolecular triple bond insertion; and d) protonolysis, with regeneration of DBU and CuCl2 catalysts. The structure of a representative product has been confirmed by XDR analysis.
