Abstract

Abstract Asymmetric aminoxylations of a stoichiometric amount of ketones were accomplished through O-nitrosoaldol reactions of 2-nitrosotoluene catalyzed by a proline- based tetrazole. The advantages of 2-nitrosotoluene and the tetrazole over nitrosobenzene and proline, respectively, were demonstrated.
