A theoretical DFT investigation of the reaction of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-1-oxide (nitrone) with two alkenes cis- and trans-2-butene has been thoroughly probed at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The regioselectivity as well as the detailed mechanism of reaction has been studied and analyzed. The reaction is characterized by a concerted asynchronous mechanism and the products P2 and P4 are the most favorable products kinetically and thermodynamically. A good agreement with the experimental data has been found.
