Significance

Radical addition reactions play an essential role in synthetic organic chemistry, enabling the construction of complex molecules and key building blocks. In this study, the authors developed a method for the addition of electrophilic alkyl halide radicals onto glyoxylic oxime ethers to access novel α-amino acid derivatives.


Comment

The triethylborane-mediated addition of electrophilic and heterocyclic carbon-centered radicals, formed from alkyl halides, to glyoxylic oxime ethers proceeded smoothly to deliver the corresponding α-amino acid derivatives in moderate to good yields.
