Abstract
The [3+2]-nitrone-mediated cycloaddition reaction of (S )-(-)-4-benzyl-N -methacryloyl-2-oxazolidinone has been applied to the synthesis of highly substituted isoxazolidines with controlled stereochemistry. The absolute configuration of the major diastereoisomer derived from the reaction between N -(p- nitrobenzylidene)methylamine N -oxide and (S )-(-)-4-benzyl-N -methacryloyl-2-oxazolidinone has been deduced from the corresponding X-ray structure.
Key words
chiral auxiliary - nitrones - dipolar cycloaddition reaction - isoxazolidine - isoxazolidinone
