Some 6-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes have been prepared by photoisome
risation of alkenyl nitrone eaters and peracid oxidation of pyrrolines
Their ring-opening reactions with iron(II) sulfate, tri-n-butyl tin h
ydride and copper(I)triphenylphosphine chloride in many cases afford t
he related pyrrolines, but some trans oxaziridines give products deriv
ed from the trapping of aminyl radicals by the pendant alkenes. (C) 19
