The reaction of ninhydrin with sarcosin or proline gives azomethine ylides that can be trapped by (E)- or (Z)-oxoindolin-3-ylidene acetophenones. The configuration of the adducts can be assigned on the basis of NOE and Eu(fod)3 NMR experiments. The regiochemistry of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is controlled by FMOs, while the configuration derives from the less hindered transition state. Under thermal conditions, some kinetically controlled products revert to dipole and dipolarophile that react to give the thermodynamically stable products.
