Abstract
A number of novel oxa-bridged and methylene oxa-bridged bicyclic isoxazolidines have been synthesized using intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition. The reductive cleavage of N-O bonds of the isoxazolidines to provide novel medium-ring heterocycles oxazocines and oxazonines is also described.
