Abstract

A comparative study of the stereochemical behaviour of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a series of 1,2-disubstituted alkenes with 1-pyrroline 1-oxide (1) and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine 1-oxide (2) has been carried out. Both the nitrones exhibit very similar stereochemical properties. Rate constants for the cycloaddition of these nitrones to several disubstituted alkenes have been determinded at 36°C by 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy. It is found that the nitrone 1 reacts slower than 2 due to the presence of bond eclipsing strain in the transition state involving 1.
