Abstract
Regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of 2,5-dimethyl-3-furannitrile oxide (IIa) to alkenes or alkynes is described. Nitrile oxide IIa generated in situ reacts with monosubstituted alkenes or alkynes to give exclusively 5-substituted 3-(5-dimethyl-3 -furyl)-2-isoxazolines IV and isoxazoles V, 2,5-disubstituted alkenes sometimes afforded a mixture of regioisomeric isoxazolines. Reactivity of furannitrile oxides II and III in cycloadditions to ethene was studied by the MNDO method.
