INTRODUCTION 2-aminobenzoxazinones, 2-aminobenzoxazines and 2-aminoquinozolines are privileged heterocyclic scaffolds in bioactive compounds and natural products.1 For example, compound I acts as an inhibitor of C1r.2 Compound II shows good antiviral activity against HSV-1 protease.3 Etifoxine III is used for the treatment of anxiety neurosis.4 Compound IV demonstrates nanomolar activity against protein kinase (MAPK) p38 (Figure 1).5

Biologically active 2-aminobenzoxazinones, 2-aminobenzoxazines and 2aminoquinozolines Consequently, intensive efforts have been made for their preparation.1-6 Especially the synthesis of 2aminobenzoxazinones have been developed fast during the past decades. However, the methods for their synthesis mainly located on the Pd(II)-catalyzed reactions (Scheme 1). Houlden’s group realized a Pd(II)-catalyzed carbonylative method through C-H activation and CO insertion of N-arylureas (Scheme 1, A).7 Similarly, Wu’s group reported a carbonylative synthesis of 2 –aminobenzoxazoles via in situ formation of N-arylureas by the reaction of isocyanates and 2-bromoanilines (Scheme 1, B).8 In 2013, Orru et al reported an oxidative reaction of 2-aminobenzoic acids and isocyanides using Pd(II)-catalyst to give 2-aminobenzoxazinones. The procedure is easy to handle and toxic CO is not required (Scheme ACS Paragon Plus Environment

1, C).9 Although the reported methods have made a great step forward in the production of these scaffolds, they suffer from the use of transition metals, which limits their applications in medicinal chemistry. In order to provide a more environmentally friendly strategy, the development of a metal-free approach is still highly desirable. Isocyanides are usually used in the construction of nitrogen-containing compounds as vital and meritorious C1 building blocks.10 Iodine and compounds of iodine-mediated oxidative coupling reactions are very important for they are more green and less expensive than those transition-metalmediated oxidative coupling reactions.11 An procedure of using isocyanides and amines to developed carbodiimides through I2/CHP-mediated cross-coupling reaction, has been reported in our previous work.12 The carbonimidic diiodine intermediate was assumed to be an active species in the formation of carbodiimides. Inspired by our previous work, we herein describe a metal-free I2/TBHP mediated oxidative coupling reaction of 2-aminobenzoic acid and isocyanides producing various 2 ‑ aminobenzoxazinones (Scheme 1, D).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION We investigated the reaction of 2-aminobenzoic acid 1a and tert-butyl isocyanide 2a, in the presence of 0.2 equiv. of iodine and 2 equiv. of TBHP, using 1,4-dioxane as solvent at 110 °C for 4 h. To our delight, the desired product 2-(tert-butylamino)-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 3a was obtained in 53% GC-yield (Table 1, entry 1). In the absence of the catalyst, no expected product was observed (Table 1, entry 2). The yield of 3a decreased when we used different iodine sources like NIS and Bu4NI (Table 1, entries 3, 4 and 6). We also evaluated other halide-source catalyst such as Bu4NBr, which could not promote this reaction (Table 1, Entry 5). Further examinations of other kinds of oxidants, such as CHP, TBHP, O2, TBPB, and K2S2O8 was operated and TBHP proved to be the most efficient oxidant (Table 1, entries 1, 7-11). Various solvents, including THF, MeCN, MTBE, DCE), DMF, toluene and DME were screened subsequently, which indicated that MTBE was the best solvent (Table 1, entries 12–18). 3a was obtained in 72% yield by GC, when the reaction was carried out for 12 h. (Table 1, entry 19). The yield of 3a was increased by decreasing the reaction temperature to 50 oC (Table 1, entry 20). Further examination of the amount of I2, showed that 10 mol % I2 gave 3a in 83% GC yield (Table 1, entry 21). Therefore, optimum reaction conditions was 10 mol % of I2 and 2 equiv. of oxidant TBHP in MTBE at 50 °C for 12 h.

Noteworthily, 2-aminobenzoic acids bearing electron-donating groups led to the corresponding products 3b-3g in 27-85% yields. When halogen-substituted 2-aminobenzoic acids 1h-1i were subjected to the reactions, the desired 2-aminobenzoxazinones 3h–3i were observed in good yields (63–70 %). Unfortunately, the reaction of 2-amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid 1j with 2a was messy due to the presence of the NO2 group.

Illustrating the importance of our procedure, we applied it to the late-stage modification of the bioactive compound (Table 4). When we performed the reaction of galactose derivative 2h with 1b under optimzed conditions, the desired product 3r was obtained in 68% isolated yield, providing a novel synthesis protocol for the construction of potential pharmaceutically and biologically active compounds.

Additionally, under the optimal conditions, we investigated other amine-based bisnucleophiles, such as (2-aminophenyl)methanol 1k and 2-(aminomethyl)aniline 1l. Results are listed in Table 5. Reaction of (2-aminophenyl)methanol 1k with tert-butyl isocyanide 2a furnished the desired product 4 in 54% yield. When 2-(aminomethyl)aniline 1l was treated with various isocyanides under analogous reaction conditions, diverse substituted 2-aminoquinozolines 5a-f were obtained in up to 83% yields (Table 5). Unfortunately, primary aliphatic isocyanide ethyl 2-isocyanoacetate 2i could not afford the desired product 5d. It is evident that the products have undergone an additional oxidation to aromatize.

Isolated yields. Based on the results above, a plausible mechanismfor this reaction is depicted in scheme 2. The 1,1addition of iodine to isocyanide 2 gives intermediate I.12,13 Then, Intermediate I reacts with 2aminobenzoic acid 1, resulting in intermediate II through dehydrohalogenation. HI is oxidized by TBHP giving iodine and then complete the cycle. Subsequently, second dehydrohalogenation of II occus, leading to the formation of carbodiimide III (path a) or IV (path b). And then isomerization of IV or intramolecular cyclization of III frunishes 3. ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Scheme 2. Proposed mechanism CONCLUSION In conclusion, a new and practical I2-TBHP-catalysed oxidative coupling reaction of isocyanides with active N-H, O-H bonds has been developed. This protocol provides a novel, general, reliable, straightforward and atom efficient approach leading to 2-aminobenzoxazinones 3, 2-aminobenzoxazines 4 and 2-aminoquinozolines 5 under metal-free conditions. Furthermore, the utility of this approach can be applied to late-stage modification of pharmaceutically and biologically active molecules. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION General Experimental Information. All the solvents for routine isolation of products and chromatography were reagent grade. Flash chromatography was performed using silica gel (200-300 mesh) with the indicated solvents. Melting points were recorded on an electrothermal digital melting point apparatus and were uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded on a spectrophotometer using KBr optics. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a 400 MHz (1H NMR) and 100 MHz (13C NMR) spectrometer using CDCl or DMSO-d6 3 as solvent and TMS as internal standard. The 1H NMR data are reported as the chemical shift in parts per million, multiplicity (s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet), coupling constant in hertz, and number of protons. High resolution mass spectra were obtained using a high resolution ESI-TOF mass spectrometer.

General Procedure for the construction of 3 To a mixture of 2-aminobenzoic acids, (2-aminophenyl)methanol or 2-(aminomethyl)aniline (0.5 mmol), I2 (0.05 mmol), tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP, 70% in H2O) (1 mmol) and isocyanide (0.6 mmol) were added in 3 mL MTBE or 1,4-dioxane to test tube. The test tube was closed. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50 oC. When the reactions were completed(checked by TLC), they were cooled to room temperature, washed with 10 % Na2S2O3 Solution(3*15 mL) and extracted with Ethyl acetate(3*15 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4. Removal of solvent followed by flash column chromatographic purification afforded products using petroleum and Ethyl acetate. 2-(tert-butylamino)-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 3a.
