Reaction of (Vinyloxyalkyl)amines with Chloral Hydrate

Reaction of (2-vinyloxyethyl)amine with chloral hydrate produces unstable 2,2,2-trichloro-1-ethanol, which is cleaved to give N-(2-vinyloxyethyl)formamide.The latter undergoes cyclization into thermodynamically more stable 3-formyl-2-methyl-1,3-oxazolidine during isolation.Similar cyclic and linear formamides were obtained from chlral hydrate and other vinyl-substituted 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-aminoalcohols.N-(Hydroxyalkyl)-formamides were isolated as by-products.
