Morpholines. Synthesis and biological activity

The review analyzes methods of synthesis of 1,4-oxazines (morpholines) starting from vicinal amino alcohols and their derivatives, oxiranes, and aziridines. Examples of using morpholines in medicinal and organic chemistry as catalysts, auxiliaries, biologically active substances, and building blocks for their preparation are considered. The data published until February 2013 have been covered.
