Significance

Starting with the same two components, aldehydes and ureas/thioureas, two comparative methods for the construction of thiazines, oxazines and hexahydropyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines are reported. In one sequence, the third component, an alkene, completes a [4+2] cycloaddition approach while in the other path dihydropyran is added to effect a Biginelli-type reaction. Both sequences require TMSCl and proceed in good yields and high overall diastereoselectivity. The formation of thiazines and oxazines is proposed to proceed via initial generation of an N-acyliminium species, which undergoes Diels-Alder reaction with the added alkene.
