Abstract

Nitrate esters, prepared by treatment of β-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivatives with nitric acid, react with tributyltin hydride to give the corresponding alkoxyl radicals. These radicals readily undergo β-scission, providing a convenient route for the regiocontrolled production of α-carbon-centred amino acid radicals. By examining the partitioning of the alkoxyl radicals between the β-scission process and the competing hydrogen transfer reaction, it has been ...
