A hitherto unknown reactivity of a strained four-membered heterocycle, 1,2-oxazetidine, is reported. When reacted with organometallic compounds, this reagent provides electrophilic oxygen with a nitrogen-terminated two-carbon-atom tether. The synthetic versatility of the products obtained was demonstrated in various transformations, leading to efficient synthesis of six-, seven-, and eight-membered heterocyclic systems of pharmaceutical importance. Open and then close: The O-selective ring-opening reaction of 1,2-oxazetidines with organometallic compounds provides tethered phenol derivatives that can be used to access six-, seven-, and eight-membered heterocyclic systems in only a few steps (see scheme; Ts=tosyl).

Versatile ruthenium catalysts allowed for efficient direct oxygenations of aryl carbamates under remarkably mild reaction conditions. In addition to chelation-assisted C-H activation, the optimized ruthenium catalyst proved amenable to para-selective hydroxylations of anisoles without Lewis basic directing groups.
