This paper is dedicated to Professor James M. Coxon (Jim) on the occasion of his 65 th birthday, and in recognition of his many contributions to chemistry Abstract Four spiroisoxazolines have been prepared, by cycloaddition of aceto-, pivalo-, benzo-and mesito-nitrile oxide with 3-methylenequinuclidine. The reactions were completely regioselective, within the limits of detection. None of the isoxazolines showed significant inhibition of acetylcholinesterase.
