Abstract
Abstract Stereoselectivity of the reaction of N-benzyl-C-ethoxycarbonyl nitrone (3) with (S)-5-hydroxymethyl-2(5H)-furanone (2a) and its 5-alkoxy substituted derivatives 2b-f was investigated. The reaction proceeds in a highly face-selective manner, the products 4–6 resulting from approach anti to the hydroxymethyl or alkoxymethyl group of the dipolarophile. The exo-stereoselectivity increases as the size of protective group attached to lactone (2b-f) increases. Endo-exo diastereoselectivity is affected significantly by the solvent. Microwave irradiation strongly accelerates the reaction with little effect on the diastereoselectivity to give the syn adduct 8a in addition to anti cycloadducts 4a–6a.
