This study investigates the efficiency of alkylation of the Dellaria oxazinone glycinate template with sensitive bifunctional electrophiles. In addition to improved access to the template, triflate/halide bifunctional combinations provided good yields (85–93%) of highly diastereoselective alkylation products.

Teteralones were converted, in 1 to 3 steps, to α-substituted tetralones. Subsequent reductive amination with ammonium acetate/sodium cyanoborohydride gave the corresponding α-substituted-β-aminotetralins, on a multi gram scale, with minimal chromatographic purification for the entire transformation.
