α-Aminations of ketone-derived nitrones have been developed via [3,3]-rearrangement of the intermediates generated upon condensation with imidoyl chlorides. Careful reagent selection provides synthetically attractive amino protecting groups. The enediamide or α'-carbamoyl enamide products can be hydrolyzed to the desired carbonyl, or exposed to electrophiles for further α-functionalization.

An unprecedented functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been conveniently achieved by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a cyclic nitrone. This organic functionalization yields materials with a great solubility in DMF (close to 10 mg per mL of DMF) preferentially occurring at the defects of the MWCNT sp(2) network.

The synthesis and antibacterial activity of the title compounds having an isoxazolidine ring at the C-2 position are described. These derivatives were synthesized by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrone with 2-vinyl carbapenems. This 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction proceeded regioselectively to give diastereomeric isomers of 2(-isoxazolidin-5-yl)carbapenems. It was ascertained t...

Abstract Efficient photocatalytic aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation reactions of N,N-disubstituted hydroxylamines to nitrones were developed with an in situ generated photocatalyst based on commercially available 3,6-dichlorotetrazine. This process affords a wide range high yields under mild conditions. In addition, (3+3) cycloaddition between oxyallyl cation precursor and hydroxylamine was als...

The selective recognition-mediated reaction between a nitrone bearing a urea recognition site and a maleimide bearing a proton switchable recognition site can be turned 'on' and 'off' by the addition of base and acid respectively.

A straightforward synthesis of novel, 2-heterocyclyl polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines is described. Stereocontrolled additions of nucleophiles to cyclic nitrones generated the corresponding 2,3-trans adducts, allowing the synthesis of the corresponding pyrrolidines via key intermediates bearing an alkyne and a nitrile oxide. Three hybrid systems, including a pyrrolidine with two isoxazoles and one...

1,3–Dipolar cycloaddition reactions (DCR) are atom–economic processes that permit the construction of heterocycles. Their enantioselective versions allow for the creation of up to four adjacent chiral centers in a concerted fashion. In particular, well–defined half–sandwich iridium (III) catalysts have been applied to the DCR between enals or methacrylonitrile with nitrones. Excellent yield and...

The title compound, C(11)H(13)NO(4), contains a nitrone group, C=N-O-R, the geometry of which shows a Z configuration with near planarity (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0787 Å) around the C=N double bond. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal packing, mol-ecules are linked into R(2) (2)(12) dimers and R(2) (2)(14) rings via C-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds.
