Abstract

A series of unexpected cycloadducts along with normal cycloadducts have been isolated from the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3,4-dehydromorpholine N-oxide to piperidides of cinnamic acid and para-substituted cinnamic acids and these were analyzed by X-ray crystallography to reveal novel solid-state structures. At first, 1:1 cycloadducts were formed which underwent in situ nucleophilic attack by another reduced nitrone moiety. A plausible iminium–oxonium ion mechanism has been proposed.
