title: Ene-like addition of an oxoammonium cation to alkenes: highly selective route to allylic alkoxyamines.
abstract: The oxoammonium cation of 4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate (1) adds rapidly at room temperature in an ene-like fashion to trisubstituted alkenes to afford allylic alkoxyamines in high yield. [reaction: see text]
