title: Radical addition of nitrones to acrylates mediated by SmI2: asymmetric synthesis of gamma-amino acids employing carbohydrate-based chiral auxiliaries.
abstract: Alkyl nitrones possessing N-substituted sugars as chiral auxiliaries were found to effectively undergo an SmI(2)-mediated radical addition to n-butyl acrylate affording gamma-amino acid derivatives with high diastereomeric control.
