1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrones-particularly N-(2'- pyridylmethylene)aniline N-oxide-with arylmethylene cyanoacetates exclusively yield 4,4-disubstituted isoxazolidines, identifiable by 1H n.m.r, spectroscopy and isolable in some cases. Comparative kinetic experiments provide evidence for at least non-synchronous addition via a dipolar intermediate or possibly even two-step addition via a discrete zwitterionic intermediate.

It has been shown that dienophiles cycloadd selectively to one face of o-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs) bearing chiral α-alkoxy groups. The face selectivity (diastereoselectivity) increases for the series of chiral groups -OCH(Ph)CH3, -OCH(Ph)CH(CH3)2, and -OCH(Ph)C(CH3)3. A similar effect on the face selectivity of the Diels–Alder reactions of chiral alkoxy vinyl ethers for the same series of chiral groups has been noted previously by others. A mechanism has been proposed to explain the face selectivity in the cycloaddition reactions of the alkoxy o-QDMs. Abinitio molecular orbital calculations with geometry optimization on vinyl 1-phenylethyl ether to determine its lowest energy conformations support the proposed mechanism. The absolute stereochemistries of the o-QDM cycloadducts have been determined to verify the predictions of the model. Keywords: o-quinodimethanes, asymmetric, Diels–Alder, cycloaddition.

: Oxabenzonorbornadiene (OBD) is a useful synthetic intermediate which can be readily activated by transition metal complexes with great face selectivity due to its dual-faced nature and intrinsic angle strain on the alkene. To date, the understanding of transition-metal catalyzed reactions of OBD itself has burgeoned; however, this has not been the case for unsymmetrical OBDs. Throughout the development of these reactions, the nature of C1-substituent has proven to have a profound effect on both the reactivity and selectivity of the outcome of the reaction. Upon substitution, different modes of reactivity arise, contributing to the possibility of multiple stereo-, regio-, and in extreme cases, constitutional isomers which can provide unique means of constructing a variety of synthetically useful cyclic frameworks. To maximize selectivity, an understanding of bridgehead substituent effects is crucial. To that end, this review outlines hitherto reported examples of bridgehead substituent effects on the chemistry of unsymmetrical C1-substituted OBDs.
