title: Novel methodology for the synthesis of N-alkoxyamines.
abstract: [reaction: see text] We report a new methodology for the synthesis of the N-alkoxyamines, which can be used as initiators in "living" free radical polymerization. Silyl radical abstraction from alkyl halides allows the synthesis of N-alkoxyamines inaccessible by other methods.
