hydroxymethyl substituents, on the other hand, direct attack of LiAlH4 to the syn face of the C?N double bond to give predominantly threo amino alcohols. Jager and coworkers have used this strategy for synthesis of glycosidase-inhibiting iminopolyols and amino sugars (Eq. 8.61).63b,96 Recently, diastereoselective synthesis of highly substituted 2,5-diaminohexanes via nitrile oxide cycloaddition to an optically active vinylogous amino acid has been shown.96d

The conversion of isoxazolines to β-hydroxy ketones can be carried out by H2 in the presence of Raney Ni under various conditions.97 The reaction proceeds cleanly with complete stereospecificity (Eq. 8.62).

(8.62)
Thus, isoxazolines are converted into γ-amino alcohols and β-hydroxy ketones stereoselectively. However, the intermolecular cycloaddition involving 1,2-unsymmetrically substituted alkenes such as trans-cinnamyl alcohol proceeds nonregioselectively to give a mixture of the two regioisomers (Eq. 8.63).98
(8.63)
Several strategies have been proposed to improve the regioselectivity of nitrile oxide cycloaddition. Kanemasa and coworkers have reported high-rate acceleration and regioselectivity in nitrile oxide cycloadditions to the magnesium alkoxides of allylic and homoallylic alcohols (Eq. 8.64).99
(8.64)
Another strategy to control the regioand stereochemistry of cycloaddition is a silicon-teth- ered reaction, as discussed in the section of nitronates (Section 8.2.3) (Eq. 8.65).100
(8.65)
Isoxazolines are good precursors of α,β-unsaturated ketones.63,94 This transformation is useful for synthesis of polyenes. For example, nitrile oxide cycloaddition chemistry is used to prepare 4-oxo-2-alkenylphosphonates, which are useful to synthesize a long polyethylenic unit via Woodworth-Emmons olefination (Eq. 8.66).101

Scheme 8.22.
Evans and coworkers have reported the synthesis and absolute stereochemical assignment of (+)-miyakolide.111 Miyakolide was isolated from a sponge of the genus Polyfibrospongia by Higa et al.112 The elegant synthesis is illustrated in Scheme 8.23, in which the carbon skeleton is assembled in a convergent fashion from three fragments via esterification, [3+2] cycloaddition, and aldol reaction. Here, intermolecular and intramolecular [3+2] cycloadditions of nitrile oxides are used to assemble small components to complex large sized molecules.
1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides using chiral alkenes or chiral nitrile oxides has been extensively studied. It has been established that allylic substituents have a strong
influence in determining the π-facial selectivity and that notable high levels of diastereoselectivity (de 56–93%) are observed for cycloaddition to chiral allyl ethers.63c,113 For example,
benzonitrile oxide adds to (S)-isopropylidenebut-3-ene-1,2-diol to afford an 85:15 mixture of the isoxazolines (Eq. 8.72).114 The preferred formation of the adduct (erythro) has been rationalized by Houk et al. in terms of an inside alkoxide effect that involves allylic oxygen (Scheme 8.24).115 The diastereomeric preferences observed in cycloaddition result from the alkoxy group preference for the inside conformation and the alkyl group preference for anti. Examples of the corresponding reactions with chiral allylamine derivatives have also been reported, but, in general, the degree of selectivity is lower and less predictable.116

Recently, Kanemasa and coworkers found a new method for preparing cyclic nitronates. ω-Halo-α-nitropropane and -butane are cyclized with base to form cyclic nitronates which are labile 1,3-dipoles. They can be trapped by a variety of monosubstituted ethenes to give the corresponding adducts (Eq. 8.79).129a The N–O bonds in adducts are cleaved on treatment with acid to give functionalized isoxazeles. Cyclic nitronates are also prepared by intramolecular O-alkylation of ω-nitro alcohols via Mitsunobu condensation using triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate.128b
Another approach to cyclic nitronates has been developed by Rosini et al. in which nitro-aldol and subsequent cyclization is used as a key step. For example, 2,3-epoxy aldehydes react with ethyl nitroacetate on alumina surface in the absence of solvent to give 4-hydroxyisoxazoline 2-oxides in good yields (Eq. 8.80).130
