An unprecedented multicomponent organocatalyzed Knoevenagel鈥揳za-Michael鈥揷yclocondensation reaction between Meldrum鈥檚 acid, hydroxylamines, and aldehydes afforded a straightforward entry to a large array of racemic and syn-diastereoenriched isoxazolidinones as synthetically useful scaffolds. This process revealed a markedly facile aza-Michael鈥揷yclocondensation sequence as a key domino reaction between RCO2NHOH and transient alkylidene Meldrum鈥檚 acid upon Br酶nsted base catalysis.
