[3+2] Cycloadditions: Part XXXIV: Further Investigations of Cycloadditions of C,N-Diaryl- and C-Aryl-N-methyl Nitrones to α,β-Unsaturated Esters

Investigations of [3+2] cycloadditions of C,N-diaryl and C-aryl-N-methyl nitrones as three atom components (TAC) to substituted methyl E-cinnamates and diethyl arylidene malonates have been further investigated. [3+2] Cycloadditions of cinnamates yielded mixtures of cycloadducts, the major products being the 3,4-trans-4,5-trans-2,3,5-triaryl-4-carbomethoxy products originating from the endo-carbonyl-exo-aryl meta channel approach of the cinnamate component. [3+2] Cycloadditions to diethyl arylidene malonates furnished single cycloadducts-3,5-trans-2-methyl-3,5-diaryl-4,4- dicarbethoxy isoxazolidines by a endo-aryl meta channel approach of the 2π-component.
