Abstract

Thermolysis of 3-methyl-4H-1,2-benzoxazine gave the tetracyclic 12a-methyl-7H,12aH,13H-[1,3]benzoxazino[3,2-b][1,2]benzoxazine, which further rearranged to the isomeric 5a-methyl-5aH,11H,13H-[1,3]benzoxazino[2,3-b][1,3]benzoxazine. Thermolysis of the benzoxazinobenzoxazines gave 2-methyl-4H-1,3-benzoxazine, and o-quinone methide which was trapped by ethyl vinyl ether to give 2-ethoxy-dihydrobenzopyran.
