Isoxazolidines are frequently used as intermediates in the synthesis of complex molecules [1] and are found in several interesting biologically active compounds.[2] In addition, the isoxazolidine NÀO bond can be easily cleaved under reducing conditions to afford 1, 3- amino alcohols, which are also of synthetic utility.[3] The most commonly employed method for the construction of isoxazolidines involves 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between ...
