Carbon Radical Addition to Glyoxylic Oxime Ether via Iodine Atom-Transfer Process

Abstract
Intermolecular carbon radical addition to glyoxylic oxime ether was effectively improved by using alkyl iodides and triethylborane which acts multiply as a Lewis acid, a radical initiator and a terminator. The addition of secondary and tertiary alkyl radicals has provided a new efficient carbon-carbon bond-forming method for the one-pot synthesis of a variety of α-amino acids.
