title: Addition of electrophilic and heterocyclic carbon-centered radicals to glyoxylic oxime ethers.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Stabilized primary radicals can be formed from alkyl halides in an atom transfer process with Et(3)B. This process depends on the strength of the carbon-halogen bond and the stability of the resulting primary radical. Radicals formed from benzyl iodide and ethyl iodoacetate add to glyoxylic oxime ethers; however, more electrophilic radicals do not. Glyoxylic oxime ethers are also good radical acceptors for heterocyclic carbon-centered secondary radicals, giving novel alpha-amino acid derivatives.
