Abstract

Three-component one-pot reactions of bromotrinitromethane with bicyclobutylidene and methylenecyclobutanes provide a simple route to halogen-substituted isoxazolidines of mixed composition. With these same olefins, iodotrinitromethane gives adducts which decomposed rapidly to yield the corresponding isoxazolines. Reaction of bromotrinitromethane and bicyclobutylidene with electron-deficient alkenes produced isoxazolidines together with bromotrinitroalkanes as side products.

The scope of the stated method is restricted to nucleophilic and hindered olefins like tri- and tetrasubstituted alkyl or aryl cycloalkenes, which form nitronic esters in situ. For analogues see ref.3
