Tandem transesterification and diastereoselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of α-methoxycarbonylnitrones (1a-d) with chiral acyclic secondary allyl alcohols [(Z)-2 and (E)-2)] are described. While reactions of 1a-d with (Z)-2 gave 3a-d with high stereoselectivities in excellent yields, 1d bearing (S)-1-phenylethyl group reacted with (E)-2 to give 6d with high selectivity.
