corresponding C-alkenyl nitrones which undergo an intramolecular cycloaddition. The cycloaddition can occur by one of two modes leading to either bridged- or fused-isoxazolidines. The latter is preferred in most cases except that of the C-(3-alkenyl) nitrone which gives exclusively the bridged-ring product and the C-(4-alkenyl)nitrones derived from N-allylpyrrole-2-carboxyaldehyde oxime which gives both bridged-
