β¦ Synopsis
Intramolecular nitrile oxide cycloaddition to functionalized furans occurs with complete regiochemical control but low diastereoselectivity. The poor reactivity of furan as 2 3Z component in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with nitrile oxide' greatly limited its practical use in this reaction. 2,3 This is particularly unfortunate since the furan-nitrile oxide cycloaddition definitely offers the best entry to C-4 oxygenated isoxazolines, and to a number of amino sugars derivatives thereof, as demonstrated by Jager's pioneering work.4 Entropically favoured intramolecular processes 536 could represent an effective alternative to the sluggish intermolecular reaction.
