Stereocontrol in solid-phase radical reactions: radical addition to oxime ether anchored to polymer support

Org Lett. 2000 May 18;2(10):1443-5. doi: 10.1021/ol005771m.

Abstract

A high degree of stereocontrol in solid-phase radical reactions was achieved by using triethylborane and diethylzinc as a radical initiator at low reaction temperature. Alkyl radical addition to Oppolzer's camphorsultam derivatives of oxime ether anchored to polymer support proceeded smoothly to give the alpha-amino acid derivatives with excellent diastereoselectivities.
