Abstract
A mild, convenient oxido-alkylidenation of alkynes is described. The three-step sequence involves the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a nitrone and an alkynoate, oxidation of the resulting isoxazoline, and stereoselective extrusion of nitrosomethane. Quantum mechanical calculations identified the interactions of R3 with the oxidant and the preferred conformation of a diradical intermediate as major factors controlling the stereoselectivity of the oxidation and torquoselectivity of the extrusion.Entities:
