Abstract
New Schiff bases (1-6) were prepared and reduced by using NaBH4 to 2-(2-aminoaryl)-methyl phenol; which were refluxed without isolation of reduced product with formaldehyde to afford 1,3-benzoxazines in good yields (13-18). Same series of 1,3-benoxazines were prepared stepwise. Schiff bases were reduced to 2-(2-aminoaryl) methyl phenols (7-12), which were refluxed with formaldehyde in ethanol to give 1,3-benzoxazine.
