β¦ Synopsis
The first diastereoselective cycloaddition of a nitrile oxide with a homoallylic alcohol is discussed. The reaction of benzonitrile oxide with the magnesium alkoxides of chiral homoallylic alcohols has been shown to proceed with good diastereoselectivity, favoring the syn isomer of the resulting 2-isoxazoline.

The reaction of benzonitrile oxide with several vinylsilanes has been found to afford silylated isoxazoles. Relative rates for the cycloaddition reaction were determined.
Air stable (cyclopentadienyl)Mo(NO)(halide)[~3-(Z)-crotyl] complexes add to aldehydes with high diastereoselectivity to yield syn-p-methyl homoallyl alcohols in up to 98% de. New routes to these reactive metal-(Z)-crotyl reagents utilize 2-butyne and s-&s-butadiene organomolybdenum intermediates ins
