✦ Synopsis


The use of ion pairs to control a nitrtle oxide cycloaddition is demonstrated. A chiral phenylmaleimide derivative bearing an ionic group and an associated counterion provides enhanced selectivity in the cycloaddition of benzonitrtle oxide. The intramolecular salt effect controls the orientation of the 1,3-dipolar reagent. The nature of the solvent is shown to be relevant in the selectivity of the reaction.
