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 NO 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 nitrones and alkenes,[4] which generates the O1-C5 bond and the C3-C4 bond in one step [Eq.(1)]. Although these transformations are very useful, many intermolecular cycloadditions of unactivated alkenes generate mixtures of regioisomers.[4] Moreover, the major stereoisomers typically result from endo-addition on the less hindered face of the alkene, and the selective preparation of stereoisomers resulting from exo-addition and/or addition to the more substituted alkene face cannot be achieved in a straightforward manner.[4]In this communication, we describe a new approach to the construction of substituted isoxazolidines that involves palladium-catalyzed carboetherification reactions of N-butenyl hydroxylamine derivatives with aryl bromides [Eq.(2)]. This method represents a new strategy for construction of the isoxazolidine ring, in which the O1-C5 bond and a C5′-Ar bond are formed in one step.[5] These transformations also provide access to isoxazolidine stereoisomers that cannot be generated with currently available methods. The reactions appear to proceed via intramolecular alkene insertion into previously unprecedented palladium alkoxyamine intermediates, which may be of utility in other Pd-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom bond-forming processes.
