The stereochemistry of the intramolecular, 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of several methyl- substituted N-methyl-C-6-heptenylnitrones was studied. The major product isoxazolidines were confirmed to have the 7-aza-8-oxabicyclo [4.3. 0] nonane (3a, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7a-hexahydro- 2, 1-benzisoxazoline, hydrindan) skeleton. The stereochemistry at the ring fusion was assigned primarily on the basis of nmr spectral evidence. It was found that cyclization of ...
