A new synthetic method toward 5-substituted isoxazolidines by [3 plus 2]
cycloaddition of nitrones generated from nitrosobenzene and styrene was discovered.
The formation of nitrones from nitrosobenzene and mono-substituted aromatic
styrenes was demonstrated. The cycloaddition reactions between styrenes and
nitrosobenzenes work well when a moderate excess of styrenes was employed. The
labeling studies support that cleavage of the styrene double bond occurred and accounted
for all the carbons in the starting materials and products.
A [3 plus 2] dipolar cycloaddition is implicated by the available mechanistic data and
allows for the rapid assembly of various substituted isoxazolidines directly from
nitrosobenzenes, electron deficient alkenes, and styrene.
