in 97% yield without formation of other regioisomers (paths b or c). This is the first example of a regioselective radical addition to a conjugated oxime ether that involves four electrophilic positions. The diastereomeric purity of 3a was found to be no less than 97.5: 2.5 dr by 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the crude product. The absolute configuration at the newly formed stereocenter was determined to be S by converting the adduct 3a into the authentic g-amino acid 4.[11] The stereochemical preference of this reaction can be rationalized as follows. With regard to the conformation of (E)-1, the anti (sulfonyl and carbonyl groups) and s-cis (carbonyl group and C= C bond) planar rotamer shown in Scheme 1 should be favored over other rotamers. Therefore, the alkyl-radical addition to the re (bottom) face is favored, presumably resulting from steric interactions with the axial oxygen of the sulfonyl group.[6c] In marked contrast, the ethylated product 3a was not formed with the use of diethylzinc as a radical initiator (Table 1, entry 2).[12] The high diastereoselectivities and good chemical yields were observed in the addition of secondary alkyl radicals to (E)-1 (Table 1, entries 3 and 4). A lower chemical yield was attained with a bulky tert-butyl radical, but the reaction still proceeded with high dr (> 97.5: 2.5; Table 1, entry 5). These observations indicate that triethylborane acts as an effective reagent for trapping the intermediate enaminyl radical to form the boryl enamine 2.
