Catalyst-Free and Stereoselective Synthesis of N,N-Bicyclic Pyrazolidinone Derivatives

Abstract

A catalyst-free and stereoselective cycloaddition of pyrazolidin-3-one-derived azomethine imine to trans-β-nitrostyrene is described, which allows versatile, efficient and highly enantioselective synthesis of N,N-bicyclic pyrazolidinone derivatives.

Key words

N,N-bicyclic pyrazolidinone - azomethine imine - trans-β-nitrostyrene - cycloaddition - stereoselectivity
