Pentacyclic isoxazolines were obtained by the cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxide to norbornene-azetidinone-fused 3,1-oxazines. The constitutions of two of the isomers obtained, and the configurations and conformations of all products, were determined by means of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and DNOE experiments.
Keywords: 1H and 13C NMR; DNOE, regioselectivity; Pentacyclic norbornane/ene-azetidinone-fused 3,1-oxazines, synthesis by cycloaddition.
