Aldonitrones derived from spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene-1-carbaldehyde and its benzo analog undergo a tandem uncatalyzed intramolecular cyclopropane-nitrone cyclization-5,6-dihydro-1,2-oxazine cycloreversion to give cyclopentadienones. Similarly, the NH-nitrone generated in situ from spiro[cyclopropane-1,1'-indene]carbaldehyde oxime leads to benzocyclopentadienone (1<i>H</i>-inden-1-one) by the same mechanism. DFT calculations are in favor of a concerted yet highly asynchronous pathway for the cycli ...[more]
