Stereoselective cycloadditions of chiral acyl-nitroso compounds; synthetically useful reactions of the adducts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)94426-5

The adducts from the addition of acyl-nitroso compounds do dienes are shown to undergo reactions which are important for their use in synthesis, via cleavage of the N-O bond to produce monocyclic systems followed by further functionalisation.
