1 Introduction

The nitrone functionality is a 4-π-electron system capable of undergoing reactions with other multiply bonded systems in a process, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, not unlike the Diels-Alder reaction. The foreseen potentiality of nitrone cycloadditions1 has been largely confirmed in the last thirty years so that such reactions are now ...
