Diastereoselectivity in the Cycloaddition of 1-Benzyl-2-piperazinone Nitrone with Alkenes

Abstract

The diastereoselectivity of the [2 + 3]-cycloaddition of 1-benzyl-2-piperazinone nitrone with several alkenes has been examined. exo-Type cycloadducts predominated for most substrates.

Key words

cycloadditions - diastereoselectivity - heterocycles - substituent effects - bicyclic compounds - nitrone - alkenes
