The 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of cyclic nitrones to five-membered unsaturated lactones are studied. Special attention was focused on a single and double asymmetric induction when one or both components were chiral. The energies of the cycloaddition reactions are investigated through application of molecular orbital calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) theory level. A study of the different reactants’ approaches and their conformational aspects revealed the stereochemical preferences of these reactions. The results of these calculations correspond well with the previously reported experimental data.
