12. Using a catalytic amount of base the reaction did not go to completion.

15. In the presence of the weak base triethylamine the formation of 8 may also go in a more concerted fashion.

18. Treatment of the lactam 6 with dimethylamine for 2 h gave 56% conversion into the lactam 10 (Scheme 5).
19. Unfortunately all attempts to isolate the intermediate nitroso acetals failed, because evaporation of solvent in vacuo caused decomposition.
20. The regioselectivity of the (4+2)/(3+2) cycloaddition reaction in the 1,3-dipolarcycloaddition step was quite surprising, since the reaction of N-alkylnitrones with nitroethene gave exclusive formation of 4-substituted isoxazolidines, see: A. Padwa, L. Fisera, K. F. Koehler, A. Rodriguez, G. S. K. Wong, J. Org. Chem. 1984, 49, 276-281.

23. A similar intermolecular reaction was observed upon treatment of N-tosyl-β-lactams with triethylamine in the presence of a nucleophile to give 3-substituted lactams in moderate yield. [16a] C. M.

26. Under the basic reaction conditions the aldehyde probably reacts further.
