• The trans stereochemistry was assigned by preparing the model furans shown below. The 1H NMR (wrong)spectra of furan 14 closely resembled that of the trans isomer, and was significantly different from the cis. See Experimental Section for details

• The alkylation of 17 is the first of a conjugated isoxazoline azaenolate. About 10% of a single γ-alkylation product, tentatively assigned structure i, was also isolated. Benzylation of the azaenolate derived from 17 (PhCH2Br) gave a virtually identical ratio of the three benzylated products to the methylation reaction

Chem. , 49 : 1654 In our experience, Ra-Ni usually reduces monosubstituted double bonds more rapidly than isoxazolines; however, 1,2-disubstituted and trisubstituted double bonds often survive isoxazoline cleavage. 1,1-Disubstituted double bond reduction is often competitive with isoxazoline cleavage. Deactivation of the Ra-Ni by pretreatment with acetone is sometimes helpful. See
