    Abstract

    Intermediates involved in the conversion of 3-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benz[e]oxazines into 2-N,N-dialkylaminomethylphenol derivatives, using morpholine and other high boiling secondary amines, have been identified and characterised. Additional experiments have established the involvement of o-quinone methide intermediates in the retro-Mannich reactions. Axially chiral resorcinarenes have been prepared by utilising the exchange reactions. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
