M. Noguchi et al., Mechanistic considerations on the oxime-nitrone isomerization and intramolecular cycloaddition reaction of 3-(alk-2-enylamino)propionaldehyde grimes, B CHEM S J, 74(5), 2001, pp. 917-925
3-(Alk-2-enylamino)- and 3-(acryloylamino)-2,2-dimethylpropionaldehyde oxim
es underwent thermally induced 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition under mild conditi
ons, leading to perhydroisoxazolo[4,3-c]pyridine derivatives. The features
of the intramolecular oxime-olefin cycloaddition in this system and the rol
es of the geminal methyl groups at the 2-position and the alkenylamino nitr
ogen in the oxime-nitrone isomerization process are discussed based on kine
tic studies.
