N-Vinyl nitrones derived from fluorenone have been prepared via a copper-mediated coupling between fluorenone oxime and vinyl boronic acids. These compounds undergo subsequent rearrangement and addition reactions that are distinct from the traditional [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactivity of nitrones. Thermal rearrangements of fluorenone N-vinyl nitrones give spiroisoxazolines, while treatment with alkynes provides fluorene-tethered isoxazoles. The scope and limitations of the preparation of fluorenone N-vinyl nitrones and their subsequent rearrangement and addition reactions are discussed.

A variety of spirooxindole-1,2-oxazinan-5-one derivatives were prepared in moderate to excellent yields through 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)-promoted [3 + 3] cycloaddition of -vinyl oxindole nitrones with oxyallyl cations generated from α-tosyloxy ketones under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies revealed that [3 + 3] cycloaddition might involve two possible reaction pathways, including direct [3 + 3] cycloaddition of -vinyl oxindole ntirones with oxyallyl cations, or the addition of TFE to -vinyl oxindole nitrones, sequential addition to oxyallyl cations, elimination, and cyclization. The present method features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, easy gram scalable preparation, and new applications of TFE.

A variety of 1,2,4-oxadiazoline derivatives were synthesized in moderate to good yields through a deoxygenative cyclization cascade reaction of -vinyl-α,β-unsaturated nitrones and hydroxamoyl chlorides. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction underwent double additions of nitrile oxides to -vinyl-α,β-unsaturated nitrones, sequential elimination, and intramolecular cyclization to afford 1,2,4-oxadiazolines. Alternatively, 1,2,5-oxadiazolines were also obtained as major products in PrOH solvent through [3 + 3] cycloaddition and selective [3,3]-rearrangement.

A type of quinoxaline-derived tridentate ,,-ligand was synthesized in good to excellent yields over three steps through iodination of 2-aryl indoles, sequential Kornblum-type oxidation with DMSO, and capture by 1,2-diaminobenzenes. The prepared atropisomeric ,,-ligand was successfully applied in the synthesis of -vinyl cinnamaldehyde nitrones as only -isomers in good yields through the Chan-Lam reaction. The method features an easily accessed tunable tridentate ,,-ligand, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and high -isomer for -vinyl nitrones.

A nickel(II)-catalyzed oxygen transfer reaction of dibenzylideneacetone-derived -vinyl-α,β-unsaturated nitrones has been identified for the preparation of polysubstituted 2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanols in good yields with high atom economy. The scope of the method is described, and mechanistic experiments are discussed. The reaction was easily performed at gram scales, and pyrido[2,3-]carbazole was obtained in moderate yield over three steps.

Various α-aminooxy amides bearing a quaternary carbon at the α-position were prepared in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions from N-vinyl nitrones and α-bromohydroxamates. The N-vinyl nitrones tolerate a wide range of N-vinyl fluorenone nitrones and N-vinyl isatin nitrones. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction initially proceeds through [3 + 3] cycloaddition between N-vinyl nitrones and aza-oxyallyl cations generated from α-bromohydroxamates to afford six-membered N,O-heterocycles, followed by double C-N bond cleavage in the presence of the Sc(OTf)3 catalyst.
