An efficient strategy for the synthesis of various of ,-unsaturated -amino acid esters has been established employing N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed [4+2] cycloadditions of -methyl enals and aromatic nitroso compounds to afford 1,2-oxazin-6-ones in good yields. A subsequent acid-catalyzed esterification under ring opening yields the -amino enoates in good yields.
