Abstract

Herein we report a mild, transition-metal-free, highly diastereoselective Lewis acid catalyzed methodology toward the synthesis of isoxazolidine-based diazo compounds from the reaction between vinyldiazo esters and nitrones. Interestingly, the isoxazolidine products were identified to have contrasting diastereoselectivity to previously reported metal-catalyzed reactions. Furthermore, the same catalyst can be used with enol diazo esters, prompting the formation of Mukaiyama–Mannich products. These diazo products can then be further functionalized to afford benzo[b]azepine and pyrrolidinone derivatives.
