Reaction of β-nitrostyrenes 1 with allyl mercaptan 2 in the presence of triethylamine generated unsaturated nitro sulfides 3 and then the solution was treated with methyl chloroformate (MCF) and was refluxed to obtain [3.3.0]bicyclic products trans-6 and cis-6 in one-pot. The ratios of trans- 6:cis-6 were from 1.1:1 to 1.8:1 and the mechanism of the formation 6 is proposed to proceed through the formation of nitrile oxides 5 to undergo intramolecular nitrile oxide-olefin cycloaddition (INOC). Nitronates 16, prepared from 1 with allyl alcohol and base, can be converted into methoxycarbonyl nitronates 22 by treating the solution with methyl chloroformate and catalytic amount of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) in the presence of different amounts of triethylamine. Intermediates 22 can either undergo intramolecular alkoxycarbonyl nitronate-olefin cycloaddition (IAOC) to generate highly stereoselective product trans-14 or undergo INOC to yield trans-14 and cis-14. The application of this improved methodology to synthesize different heterocyclic products 10, 26, and 27 is reported.

A convenient conversion of aldehydes via nitroolefins 2 into cyclic ethers 6 fused to an isoxazoline ring involves formation of unsaturated nitroalkyl ethers 4 and subsequent intramolecular cycloaddition of an in situ-formed nitrile oxide olefin.The cyclization proceeds with stereoselective formation of trans over cis isomers in the tetrahydrofuran series and opposite stereoselectivity in the tetrahydropyran and hexahydrooxepine series, depending on the substituent R in the original nitro compound, thus providing access to stereoselectively functionalized cyclic ethers.
