The cycloaddition reactions of nitroethene to (Z)-N-aryl-C-phenylnitrones lead to mixtures of stereoisomeric cis- and trans-2-aryl-4-nitro-3-phenylisoxazolidines. Regioselectivity of these reactions is determined by the character of nucleophile–electrophile interactions, while stereoselectivity is determined by the steric factors and the character of secondary orbital interactions.

The thermally induced [2 + 3] cycloadditions of certain monocyclic aziridines to dimethyl 1-cyclobutene-1,2-dicarboxylate are described. The structures of the resulting bicyclic adducts were established unambiguously by X-ray analyses. The stereochemistries of the [2 + 3] adducts were interpreted in terms of dipole–dipole interactions and secondary orbital interactions. In certain cases an initial thermal conrotatory ring opening of the cyclobutene to 2,3-di(methoxycarbonyl)-1,3-butadiene precedes the [2 + 3] cycloaddition, affording the unexpected pyrrolidine adducts 12a and 12b. The structures and stereochemistries of the latter established by X-ray analysis strongly suggest that secondary orbital interactions between the phenyl and ester groups control and stereochemistry of the reactions.
