The ytterbium triflate catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diphenylnitrone (I) with the crotylamides (II) is investigated. The diastereoselectivity is found to depend on the nature of the amide auxiliary and the solvent.

β¦ Synopsis
Yb(OTf)3 (ytterbium trifluoromethanesulfonate)-catalyzed diastereoselective 1,3dipolar cycloaddition of a nitrone with ct,13-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was studied. While endo-cycloadduct was obtained from the reaction of C, N-diphenylnitrone with N-crotonoyloxazolidinone or N-crotonyl-2-pyrrolidinone in toluene, exo-adduct was predominant in acetonitrile. The enones carrying imidazolidinone or succinimide ring reacted with the nitrone to give the exo-adducts primarily in both solvents.

## Abstract 1,3βDipolar cycloaddition of nitrones with ethyl vinyl ether or 2,3βdihydrofuran proceeds smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount (10 mol%) of ytterbium triflate to afford isoxazolidines and dicyclic isoxazolidine respectively with good yields and high stereoselectivity.
