Significance

The first cycloaddition of N-sulfonyl nitrones with alkenes is reported to occur under Lewis acid catalysis from simple oxaziridines, extensively studied by Davis. The products obtained are cis-disubstituted 1,2-isoxazolidines 3. The method is complementary to a previous report from the same group which provided regio­isomeric 1,3-oxazolidines under Cu(II) catalysis (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 1866; Synfacts 2007, 498). The reaction is regioselective and proceeds with high diastereoselectivity.
