Experimental and comprehensive mechanistic density functional theory studies reveals that intermolecular H-bonding and steric repulsive interaction predominate exo-Z and exo-E cycloaddition transition states, respectively. The reaction proceeded smoothly depending on the reactants and gave a good yield of (syn) cis-isoxazolidine or (anti) trans-isoxazolidine as a single diastereomer.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDFTdiastereoselective synthesisH-bondingmaleimidenitronetransition statesHigh diastereoselectivity induced by intermolecular hydrogen bonding in [3+2] cycloaddition reaction: experimental and computational mechanistic approachesArticle10.1002/poc.3629306WOS:000404448200001Q3Q3
