A. Nagarajan et al., HIGHLY SELECTIVE 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITIONS OF CAPTODATIVE OLEFINS 1-ACETYLVINYL CARBOXYLATES TO DIVERSE DIPOLES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(38), 1996, pp. 6835-6838
Regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of captodative 1-acetylvinyl
p-nitrobenzoyloxy (1a) with propionitrile oxide, diphenylnitrile imin
e and diazoalkanes provided the corresponding 5-acetyl- isoxazoles and
pyrazoles. Evidence to support the formation of the initial cycloaddu
cts was obtained. The addition of nitrones also proved to be highly re
gio- and stereoselective. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
