39. In this respect, O-benzyloximes are superior to O-methoxime, because the former generally is obtained with higher anti selectivity (9:1) than the latter (7:3) by the reaction of an aldehyde and the corresponding alkoxyamine.

45. syn larger than 2.6 and suggested the importance of the magnitude of the difference. See: Trost, B. M.; Miller, M. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 110, 3687. Whatever the threshold may be, the 67-fold rate difference in the present cycloaddition is a clear indication of the concertedness of the cycloaddition.
46. The stereo specificity of the C=N cannot be certified in the presence example. Though the stereospecificity of cycloaddition has been considered to be a reliable criterion for the concertedness of the cycloaddition, recent studies by Zewail on the retro-Diels-Alder reaction revealed that the time scale of this conventional criteria is too slow to certify the concertedness: Horn, B. A.; Herek, J. L.; Zewail, A. H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 8755.
