“…Cycloadditions of nitrones were the subject of intensive theoretical studies; 30 however, the vast majority of them dealt with alkenes 27,31-37 or alkynes 27,31 as dipolarophiles. These works include investigations of the reaction mechanism, 27,31,32,34,36 the effects of Lewis acids (e.g., BH 3 , BF 3 ) 33,34 and solvents 27b, [34][35][36] on the mechanism and reaction energetic parameters, and the nature of the regio-and stereoselectivity. 27b,31a,32d,34-37 At the same time, 1,3-DCA to nitriles was studied theoretically toward azides, 6,38,39 and especially nitrile oxides 7g or nitrones 7f but only in a few publications.…”
