L. Fisera et al., 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITION ON HETEROCYCLES .31. CYCLOADDITIONS OF NITRILE OXIDES AND NITRONES TO 4,4-METHYLENE-1-METHYLPIPERIDINE - STUDIES IN REGIOSELECTIVITY AND STEREOSELECTIVITY, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 125(5), 1994, pp. 553-563
A series of spiro-substituted isoxazole derivatives were synthesized b
y 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrile oxides and nitrones to 4,4-met
hylene-1-methylpiperidine. Since nmr studies confirmed that only one r
egioisomer was formed selectively, semi-empirical quantum mechanical m
ethods (AM1) were used to rationalize this regiochemical preference vi
a calculation and inspection of HOMO-LUMO-energy and coefficients. X-r
ay structure analysis carried out for one of these products showed the
occurrence of only one stereoisomer, explicable by comparing AM1-calc
ulated DELTAH(f)-values of all possible cycloadducts.
