L. Grubert et al., DIASTEREOSELECTIVE 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITION OF NITRILIMINES TO GAMMA-OXYGENATED ALPHA,BETA-UNSATURATED ENONES AND ESTERS, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(4), 1996, pp. 1137-1148
The stereochemical outcome of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrili
mines to gamma-oxygenated alpha,beta-unsaturated enones and esters was
investigated. By means of X-ray and NMR analysis the main diastereome
rs were assigned as the syn-derivatives. Novel enantiomerically pure n
itrilimines were included in the investigations but did not influence
the stereochemical course of the cycloaddition significantly. Copyrigh
