Abstract:
1. The reaction of 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition of C-benzoyl-N-phenylnitrone to dimethyl vinylphosphonate at 20° gave isomeric trans-2-phenyl-3-benzoyl-4-dimethylphosphono- and trans-2-phenyl-3-benzoyl-5-dimethylphosphonoixoxazolidines. Only the first isomer is obtained in the reaction in boiling benzene. 2. The 1,3 dipolar addition of C-benzoyl-N-phenylnitrone to the diethyl ester of β-cyanovinylphosphonic acid leads to trans-2-phenyl-3-benzoyl-4-diethylphosphono-5-cyanoisoxazolidine. 3. The cycloaddition of C,N-diphenylnitrone to the dimethyl ester of allylphosphonic acid leads to the formation of trans-2,3-diphenyl-5-dimethylphosphonomethyleneisoxazolidine, while the cycloaddition of C-benzoyl-N-phenylnitrone to this diester gives trans-2-phenyl-3-benzoyl-5-dimethylphosphonomethyleneisoxazolidine. © 1977 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
