(-)-Erycibelline, the dihydroxynortropane alkaloid isolated from Erycibe elliptilimba Merr. et Chun., was synthesized using a cyclic nitrone as advanced intermediate, wherein the key step was the SmI(2)-induced intramolecular reductive coupling of cyclic nitrone with aldehyde which resulted in good yield and stereoselectivity.

This study examined the chemoselectivity and diastereoselectivity of silyl nitronate alkenyn-nitroethers in Intramolecular Silyl Nitronate Cycloadditions (ISNCs) to produce isoxazole derivatives with interesting medicinal properties. These reactions resulted in the formation of either dihydrofuro[3,4-c]isoxazolines/isoxazolidines and/or alkynyl moieties attached to 2,5-dihydrofuryl carbonyls. This study also discerned the diastereoselectivities of the resulting cyclic adducts and compared them to previous findings.

We report the design, synthesis, electrochemical, UV-vis, fluorescence, and computational study of nine π-linked donor-acceptor (D-π-A) chromophores. The series of novel compounds comprises a terphenyl, terthiophene, or 2,5-diphenyl thiophene linker, with one electron-donating group (methyl or ,-diethyl) and one electron-withdrawing group (nitrone, formyl, or dicyanovinyl) at opposite ends of the molecule. The HOMO-LUMO gaps were determined cyclic voltammetry and found to correspond well to DFT-calculated values.

This review outlines our efforts to make the reactions of nitrones more predictable and easier to use. These efforts can be categorized into (1) 1,3-nucleophilic addition reaction of ketene silyl acetals to nitrones, (2) geometry-controlled cycloaddition of C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrones, (3) stereo-controlled cycloaddition using double asymmetric induction, and (4) generation of nitrones by N-selective modification of oximes.

This communication describes a solution to the vexing problem of synthesis of 4-nitroisoxazolidine rings from cyclic nitrones and β-nitrostyrenes. The adduct 2 is quantitatively synthesised from -β-nitrostyrene under mild conditions avoiding purification, while the adduct 4 is obtained at higher temperatures. Furthermore, a Crystallization-Induced Diastereomer Transformation (CIDT) process was used to epimerise the NO bond from 2 to the adduct 3 with total conversion assisted by the -halogen substitution of the aromatic ring without any additives.

Broussonetine S (9), its C-1' and C-10' stereoisomers, and their corresponding enantiomers have been synthesized from enantiomeric arabinose-derived cyclic nitrones, with cross metathesis (CM), epoxidation and Keck asymmetric allylation as key steps. Glycosidase inhibition assays showed that broussonetine S (9) and its C-10' epimer (10'-epi-9) were nanomolar inhibitors of bovine liver β-galactosidase and β-glucosidase; while their C-1' stereoisomers were 10-fold less potent towards these enzymes. The glycosidase inhibition results and molecular docking calculations revealed the importance of the configurations of pyrrolidine core and C-1' hydroxyl for inhibition potency and spectra.
