title: Simple synthesis of alpha-hydroxyamino carbonyl compounds: new scope of the nitroso aldol reaction.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The reaction of nitroso compounds with enolates, "the nitroso aldol reaction", occurs in high yield to generate alpha-hydroxyamino carbonyl compounds. Yields range from 42% to 98% with N-selectivity >99:1 from commercially available aromatic or aliphatic nitroso compounds and a variety of alkali metal or tin enolates.
