Isoxazole derivatives R 0240Intramolecular 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Cyclo-1,3-diene-tethered Nitrile Oxides. -Nitrile oxides are generated in situ from the corresponding cyclohexadienyl, cycloheptadienyl, or cycloheptatrienyl aldoximes by sequential treatment with either BuLi/NCS or Et3N/NCS. They undergo intramolecular cycloaddition reaction to give tricycle-fused isoxazolines in a diastereoselective fashion. -(YEH*, M.-C. P.; JOU, C.-F.; YEH, W.-T.; CHIU, D.-Y.; REDDY, N. R.
