SynthesisDOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1217109AbstractA new method was used for the preparation of a pH-sensitive spin probe involving an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition - reductive isoxazolidine ring-opening - oxidation reaction sequence. 2-(2-Allyloxyphenyl)-5-R-4,4-dimethyl-4-imidazole-3-oxides (R = Me, NMe), prepared from 3-hydroxylamino-3-methylbutan-2-one, undergo intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition upon heating in toluene. Treatment of the cycloadducts with low-valence titanium (LVT) reagent resulted in reductive cleavage of the N-O bond of the isoxazolidine ring to give 3′-hydroxymethyl-5,5-di...

SynthesisDOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1217095Abstract3-(Silyloxy)oxetanes are obtained by irradiating mixtures of aromatic aldehydes and silyl enol ethers in benzene as the solvent. The reactions occur with high simple diastereoselectivity and, when R is chiral, with high facial diastereoselectivity. Under similar conditions, but in acetonitrile rather than benzene as the preferred solvent, the Paternò-Büchi reaction of -acyl enamines (enamides) gives the corresponding protected 3-aminooxetanes. The -products are obtained with significant simple diastereoselectivity.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ˙ New YorkGet connect...
