calculated relative free enthalpies of these transition states satisfactorily reproduce,<br />

at both levels the observed facial selectivity (236).<br />

Dimethyl 7-10-tetrahaptotricyclo[4.2.2.0 2,5 ]deca-3,7,9-triene-7,8-dicarboxylate<br />

tricarbonyliron reacted readily with several 1,3-dipoles nitrile oxides, at<br />

the cyclobutene double bond, to give adducts from which the tricarbonyliron<br />

group could be easily removed by oxidative decomplexation with trimethylam<strong>in</strong>e<br />

N-oxide (237).<br />

Regio- <strong>and</strong> diastereoselectivity <strong>in</strong> 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrile oxides to<br />

4-substituted cyclopent-2-enones was studied (238, 239). The reactions are always<br />

regioselective, while the diastereofacial selectivity depends on the nature of the<br />

substituents. Thus, 4-hydroxy-4-methylcyclopent-2-enone (75) gives preferably<br />

adducts 76a, the76a:76b ratio wary<strong>in</strong>g from 65:35 to 85:15 (Scheme 1.22).<br />
