A series of seven new 2′,3′,4′‐substituted spiro[isothiochromene‐3,5′‐isoxazolidin]‐4(1H)‐ones ( 7‐13 ) has been prepared in the reaction of benzylidene(phenyl)azane oxide ( 5 ) or benzylidene(methyl)azane oxide ( 6 ) with (3Z)‐3‐(4‐substituted‐benzylidene)‐1H‐isothio‐ chromen‐4(3H)‐one ( 1‐4 ). The reaction occurs by a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition mechanism that leads to the regiospecific formation of various spiroisoxazolidines ( 7‐13 ).
