Abstract
A study of the regiochemical behaviour of the oxidation of 2-substituted-1-hydroxypyrrolidines (2) being to aldo- and kito-nitrones has been carried out. The mechanism of the peracid induced ring opening reaction of isoxazolidines (5) is now firmly established. Second cycloaddition reaction of 5-substituted 1- pyrroline 1-oxide (6) provides an efficient and stereoselective entry into the trans- (24) as well as cis-2,5- disubstituted pyrrolidines (28).
