Abstract:
Herein, we report the first example of group transfer radical addition of O-vinylhydroxylamine derivatives onto unactivated alkenes. By utilizing O-vinylhydroxylamine derivatives as both the N- and C-donors, this reaction enables intermolecular carboamination of unactivated alkenes in an atom economical fashion. As the process is initiated through N-radical addition followed by C-transfer, linear carboamination products are afforded. This differs from canonical radical carbofunctionalization of olefins, which typically favors branched product owing to initiation by C-radical addition.

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...

Nomenclature of Alkenes
As per the IUPAC rules, the longest carbon chain containing the maximum number of double bonds is identified as the parent chain and is numbered such that the doubly bonded carbon atoms receive the lowest possible numbers. The location of the double bond is indicated by the number of its first carbon atom. In branched...
