Abstract

Abstract The present communication reports on the synthesis of alkoxyamines by hydroboration of olefins with catecholborane and subsequent oxidation by using nitroxides. Oxidation occurs via a radical process and the intermediately formed C-radicals are trapped by the nitroxides to form the corresponding alkoxyamines. If functionalized nitroxides are used, the method allows incorporation of interesting functional moieties via this approach. ...
