Synthesis of a Spirocyclic Oxetane-Fused Benzimidazole

A new synthesis of 2-oxa-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonane is described. Spirocyclic oxetanes, including 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane were converted into o-cycloalkylaminoacetanilides for oxidative cyclizations using Oxone® in formic acid. The expanded spirocyclic oxetane successfully gave the [1,2-a] ring-fuse...
