Abstract

Isomerization of 2-allyl-6-methylaniline by the action of potassium hydroxide at 300°C afforded cis and trans isomers of 2-methyl-6-(1-propenyl)aniline which were converted into the corresponding carbamates by treatment with ethyl chloroformate. Ethyl 2-methyl-6-(1-propenyl)phenylcarbamates reacted with bromine to give mixtures of 4-(1-bromoethyl)-8-methyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one and ethyl 2- methyl-6-(1,2-dibromopropyl)phenylcarbamates. Treatment of the same compounds with N-bromosuccinimide resulted in formation of 2-ethoxy-4H-3,1-benzoxazine derivatives. The reaction of N-{6-methyl-2-[(Z)- 1-propenyl]-phenyl}methanesulfonamide gave a mixture of stereoisomeric N-[6-methyl-2- (1,2-dibromopropyl)-phenyl]-methanesulfonamides.
