50. This study showed by molecular orbital calculations that the energy differences between the HOMO of hetaryl nitrones and the LUMO of methyl acrylate were smaller than that of the opposite combination (LUMO of nitrone and HOMO of dipholarophile). As a consequence, isoxazolidine-5-carboxylate regioisomers were obtained preferentially. See: (a) Merino, P.; Anoro, S.; Merchán, F.; Tejero, T. Heterocycles 2000, 53, 861.
