Significance

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of nitrones and olefins are excellent means for the construction of isoxazolidines as well as γ-amino alcohols. This paper describes a Ni(II) catalyst that provides exceedingly high exo-selectivity accompanied by excellent enantioselectivities with catalyst loadings as low as 5 mol%.
