Abstract: The cycloaddition of aryl- and aroylnitrile oxides to l-R-substituted 3,3-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinones (where R is H, n-butyl-, 1,1-dimethylethoxycarbonyl-, 1-methylethenyl-, and acetyl-) proceeds regioselectively under the formation of spiroisoxazolines, namely 7-R-substituted 6-oxo-8,8-dimethyl-1-oxa-2,7-diazaspiro[4,4]non-2-enes. Semiempirical quantum-mechanical methods AM1 were used to rationalize this exclusive regioselectivity. The regiochemistry of the cycloaddition seems to be controlled by the steric effect of the methyl groups at the ring junction.
