T. Naito et al., THE DIPOLAR 1,3-CYCLOADDITION OF C,N-DIALKYLNITRONE TO OLEFINS WITH HYDROXYL GROUP AND THE DERIVATIVES, Recueil des travaux chimiques des Pays-Bas, 115(1), 1996, pp. 13
The reaction rate and stereoselectivity of intermolecular dipolar 1,3
cycloaddition of the C,N-dialkylnitrone to olefins with hydroxyl group
s and their derivatives were found to depend upon the type of hydroxyl
group. The rate is accelerated in the order: magnesium alkoxide (OMgB
r); free hydroxyl group (OH); ether (OR). Selectivities are improved m
oderately when magnesium alkoxide is used.
