| Description | 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of (E)- and (Z)-substituted alpha -methylene-gamma -lactones with azomethine ylides derived from N-methyl glycine and L-proline gave the corresponding spiropyrrolidine and spiropyrrolizidine cycloadducts in good to moderate yields with various extent of stereoselectivity and regioselectivity. Cycloadditions of the azomethine ylide derived from L-proline exhibited endo selectivity especially in the case of (Z)-isomers of starting methylene lactones. Reactivity and regioselectivity were rationalized by a comparison with quantum chemical calculations (AM1). Structures of derivatives prepared were determined by NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray. |
