RESUMO
Optically active bicyclic nitrocyclopropanes are readily prepared from primary chiral nitro compounds, prepared by the conjugate addition of propionaldehyde to a nitro alkene in the presence of proline-derived organocatalysts. The one-step cyclopropanation took place smoothly in a highly stereoselective manner regardless of the stereogenic center adjacent to the allylic unit. Although the allylation reaction catalyzed by BF3·OEt2 provides a mixture of two possible diastereomers, subsequent oxidation of the alcoholic carbon after the formation of nitrocyclopropanes gave diastereomerically pure single products. As a result, separation of the diastereomers during the reaction sequence is unnecessary. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the bicyclic nitrocyclopropane ketones followed by enolization resulted in stereoselective formation of a novel cyclopenta[b]furan ring in good yield via ring expansion followed by transannular nucleophilic cyclization.
RESUMO
The one-step preparation of 1-nitrobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and bicycloisoxazoline-N-oxide was readily achieved from conjugate adducts of nitro alkenes and allylmalonates by treatment with Ag(2)O and iodine under basic conditions. We observed that when a primary alkyl group was present at the ß-position of the nitro group, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane was preferentially formed, whereas if a secondary alkyl group occupied that position, isoxazoline-N-oxide was predominantly produced. High cis-selectivity was observed for the formation of cyclopentane units for both reactions. An iodomethyl adduct, considered an intermediate of the cyclization, was isolated, and its conversion to isoxazoline-N-oxide was successfully achieved. The isoxazoline-N-oxide underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with alkenes to yield tricycloheterocyclic compounds, which were readily converted to spirolactam in good yield by reductive cleavage of N-O bonds using Raney-Ni. On the other hand, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the isoxazoline-N-oxide to terminal alkynes yielded tricyclic aziridines stereoselectively.

Optically active stannolanes and trigonal bipyramidal pentacoordinated tin complexes were readily prepared by radical cyclization of N-propargylated chiral aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts induced by Bu(3)SnH. A translocated radical through the cyclization attacked the Bu(3)Sn group in an S(H)2 manner.
