Abstract
1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of mesitonitrile oxide to Baylis-Hillman adducts (beta-hydroxy-alpha-methylene esters) proceed regioselectively in good yie lds. Addition of Grignard reagent reverses the diastereoselectivity of the cycloaddition. Microwave irradiation strongly accelerates the reaction with only a small effect on its diastereoisomeric excess.
