Regiospecific nucleophilic substitution reactions involving attack of the nitrogen atom of oximes on epoxides are used to generate nitrones which are then trapped in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. These tandem processes are shown to be flexible and to have wide synthetic scope for the construction of complex molecular frameworks. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
