| Description | Now we have found a new cyclization reaction of beta-allenyloxime (2) under mild conditions in boiling methanol leading to new five-membered heterocycles (3,4) [5]. When oxime (2) was treated with NaOH in methanol a new nitrone (3) was formed in 77% yield. On the other hand in the mixture of NaOH and NaBH4 in methanol pyrrolidine (4) was obtained in 66% yield. The same product (4) was also obtained from nitrone (3) when treated in the presence of NaOH with NaBH4. structure of both products was unambiguously confirmed by X-Ray analysis of their picrates. The structure and activity of nitrone (3) was proved by its reactivity with dipolarophiles (PhNCO, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate). |
