24. The cycloreversion of phenyl-substituted isoxazolidines to release cyclic nitrones in situ appears to be novel, although it has recently been used to regenerate a nitrone by flash pyrolysis. See Coskun, N.; Ay, M. Heterocycles 1998, 48, 537.
25. 2 was used to generate the ylid at -30 °C, and the precipitated potassium salts were then removed to give a salt-free, yellow solution of the ylid which was added via cannula to a solution of the aldehyde in THF at -78 °C.
