Titanium tetrachloride-induced cyclization of 3-(o- or m-substituted p-methoxyphenyl)-2-nitro acrylates (1) provided stereoselectively (4 alpha,5 beta)-1-oxa-2-azaspiro[4, 5]deca-2,6,9-trien-8-ones (2). Ortho-substituted p-methoxyphenyl nitroacrylates gave 2 in good yield. 3-(4'-methoxy-1'-naphthyl)-2-nitroacrylate also reacted with titanium tetrachloride to give quantitatively (4 alpha,5 beta)-4'-oxospiro[isoxazole-(4H)5,1'(4'H)-naphthalene]. 3-(10'-methoxy-9'-anthryl)-2-nitroacrylate was converted to 10-oxospiro-[anthracene-(10H)9,5'(4'H)-isoxazole].
