Nitrones are well-known to behave as 1, 3-dipoles and readily undergo thermal [3+2] cycloaddition reactions with olefins to produce isoxazolidine derivatives, which can be converted into β-amino alcohols by subsequent reductive N-O bond cleavage. The synthetically significant features of these reactions are carbon-carbon bond formation and introduction of nitrogen and oxygen functionality with concomitant high siteselectivities, regioselectivities, and stereoselectivities. Although this reaction mode has been alloted a more limited role in organic synthesis, more recent studies have demonstrated its general utility in the synthesis of a wide variety of natural products, particularly alkaloids. It is the purpose of this review to indicate the usefulness and synthetic aspects of nitrone methodology applicable to the natural products synthesis.
