[GRAPHICS]
Intramolecular cycloadditions with high regio and stereocontrol are importa
nt methods for the efficient assembly of complex molecular structures. Effi
cient routes to the synthesis of norbornadiene tethered nitrile oxides have
been developed, and their intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions were s
tudied. The cycloadditions occurred in good yields for a variety of substra
tes and were found to be highly regio and stereoselective.
