Cover Feature: New Approach to 1,4‐Benzoxazin‐3‐ones by Electrochemical C−H Amination (Chem. Eur. J. 50/2017)

Abstract

Simple electrified access to benzoxazinones starting from readily accessible methyl phenoxyacetetes was established. Similar benzoxazine compounds occur naturally in gramineous plants such as wheat, maize, rye, or rice. The electrochemical amination protocol furnishes, upon aminolysis, the heterocyclic benzoxazinone motif. The simple electric wires underline the easy‐to‐perform protocol. More information can be found in the Communication by S. R. Waldvogel et al. on page 12096.
