18. Similar changes in NMR spectra upon the silylation of nitrones have been attributed to the generation of N-siloxy-N-alkyliminium cations: Chalaye-Mauger, H.; Denis, J.-N.; Averbuch-Pouchot, M.-T.; Vallee, Y. Tetrahedron 2000, 56, 791.
19. The NMR investigation of the N,N-bis(oxy)iminium cations formed upon the interaction of TBDMSOTf with other nitronates will be published in due course.
20. The electrophilicity parameter (E) for N,N-dialkyliminium cations is ca. -5: Mayr, H.; Ofial, A. R. Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 3503. It might be expected that the E parameter for cations 2 is higher.

22. 1H NMR data of crude reaction mixtures did not reveal the presence of the diastereomers, except those shown in Table 2. (13) The N-attack of carbenium cations on enamines can be characterized by a rate higher than that of the C-attack (for the discussion, see ref 10 and references therein). Normally, N-vinylammonium cations are thermodynamically less stable than the isomeric iminium ions (i.e., the products resulted from C-attack). Therefore, N-alkylated enamine 9 could be formed as a kinetic product, which cannot rearrange to the iminium cation like 8 due to the fast irreversible loss of the silyl group.

30. Alternatively, the generation of 4e′-g′, along with 4e-g, could be explained as a result of the competition between syn and anti approaches of 3 relative to C-6 of the cationic intermediate 2 (cf. ref 19).
31. The prepared tetrahydrooxazine derivatives 4a-j, 6, 8, 10, and 13 could be considered structural analogues to the well-known N- trialkylsiloxyisoxazolidines. (For preparation of natural and biologically active compounds from N-trialkylsiloxyisoxazolidines, see ref 1b.)
