Abstract
A radical-mediated approach to metal-free alkene oxyamination is described. This method capitalizes on the unique reactivity of the amidoxyl radical in alkene additions to furnish a general difunctionalization using simple diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) as a radical trap. This protocol capitalizes on the intramolecular nature of the process, providing single regioisomers in all cases. Difunctionalizations of cyclic alkenes provide trans oxyamination products inaccessible using current methods with high levels of stereoselectivity, complementing cis-selective oxyamination processes.Entities:
