An efficient approach to functionalized 4,6-disubstituted-and 4,6,6-trisubstituted-1,3-oxazinan-2-ones skeleton has been developed through the reaction of semicyclic N,O-acetals 4a and 4b with 1,1disubstituted ethylenes 5 or 8. As a result of such a [4 + 2] cycloaddition process, 4,6,6-trisubstituted-1,3-oxazinan-2-ones 6aa, 6af-6au, 7ba, 7bf -7bw and 6,6-spiro containing 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones 9ad, 9ae, 10ba-10bg were obtained in 36%-96% yields and with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities. In addition, the synthesis of (+/-)- norallosedamine 12 could be conveniently achieved from the cycloadduct 7bf.
