“…This reaction has been studied in detail and widely applied in organic synthesis due to the easy transformation of its products, 2-alkoxy-or 2-(silyloxy)isoxazolidines into compounds of various types. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Some other trends in this field were successfully developed along with the above mentioned, and at the present time almost all possible types of acyclic and cyclic compounds of general formula XN(OR)j, where X = alkyl, RO, H, Hal, (RO)2N, RCO or unpaired electron have been synthesized. They are of special interest mainly due to the fact that, for example, the first two in this series represent the nitrogen analogues of such well-studied compounds as acetals, orthoesters of carboxylic acids or phosphonous diesters and trialkyl phosphites, respectively.…”
