Secondaryamines can be readily oxidized to the corresponding nitrones using urea-hydrogen peroxide complex (UHP) and metal catalysts in methanol at room temperature. Sodium tungstate is the most effective catalyst in several runs and common protecting groups are tolerated in these conditions.
Kinetic Resolution in 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Tartaric Acid-Derived Nitrones to 2,3-Dihydro-1-phenyl-1H-phospholes. An Enantioselective Approach to the 2,2'-Coupled Pyrrolidine-Phospholane Ring System

Enantiomerically pure five-membered ring nitrones derived from L-tartaric acid via C2-symmetric O,O'-protected 3,4-dihydroxy pyrrolidines undergo highly regio- and stereoselective cycloaddition reactions with racemic 2,3-dihydro-1-phenyl-1H-phosphole 1-oxide and 1-sulfide. In all cases formation of only two diastereomeric cycloadducts is observed and their ratio (up to 10:1) is dependent on the size of the protecting groups in the nitrone and on the extent of conversion. The tricyclic cycloadducts feature 2,2'-connection of pyrrolidine and phospholane rings and six contiguous stereogenic centers of which three are created and the one at phosphorus is kinetically resolved during the cycloaddition process. It is established that in the studied kinetic resolutions the stereoselectivity factor 8 = k(S)/k(R) exceeds the value of 10 (up to 14) in the most favorable cases. In a properly tuned reaction both the diastereomeric cycloadducts and the enantiomerically enriched dihydrophosphole derivative can be simultaneously obtained in satisfactory chemical and optical yields.

Secondary amines are oxidized by the methyltrioxorhenium/hydrogen peroxide system to the corresponding nitrones in excellent yield. The results provide a further example of the parallel between the chemistry of this metal system and that of the dioxiranes.

Cycloaddition reactions of functionalised DELTA1-pyrroline-N-oxides have been used to prepare the hydroxylated pyrrolizidines 11 and 22, the indolizidine 16, and the iminoheptitol 12.
