Abstract

A photoredox approach enabling one-step synthesis of oxazetidines with a free –NH group via the combined use of alkyne, thiophenol, and azide has been reported. The synthesized oxazetidine with the free –NH group was stable enough for various late-stage transformations such as methylation, acetylation, tosylation, and ring-opening reaction to afford synthetically useful α-aminoketones.
