REGIO- AND STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF NITROFUNCTIONALIZED 1,2-OXAZOLIDINE ANALOGS OF NICOTINE

Abstract
(E)-3,3,3-Trichloro-1-nitroprop-1-ene undergoes [3+2] cycloaddition reaction with N-aryl(pyridin-3-yl) nitrones under mild conditions. The reaction is fully regio- and stereoselective and gives expected nitro-substituted nicotine analogs with 3,4-cis-4,5-trans-stereoconfiguration.
Keywords
nicotine analogs; nitroalkenes; nitrones; 1,2-oxazolidines; [3+2] cycloaddition.
