Michaeladditions of alpha-nitroesters with enones and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes result in quantitative conversions to the corresponding 1,4-adducts by performing the reactions in water in the presence of ytterbiumtriflate as water-tolerant Lewis acid.
A broad variety of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-based N-alkoxyamines were prepared in a newly found reaction. By means of a copper-catalyzed fragmentation reaction of aldehyde peroxides in the presence of TEMPO or TEMPO derivatives, N-alkoxyamines were obtained in moderate to good yields.

Apparent rate constants, at acidic pH and neutral pH for the reaction of a family of ester-containing 5-carboxyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxides with superoxide (O-2(.-)) were estimated, using ferricytochrome c as a competitive inhibitor. It was of interest to note that the rate constants were similar among the different nitrones and not that significantly different from that found for 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide. At acidic pH, the rate constant for spin trapping O-2(.-) was 3-fold greater than that at physiological pH. Subsequent experiments determined the half-life of aminoxyls, derived from the reaction of these nitrones with O-2(.-). The EPR spectra were modeled by using a global analysis method. The results clearly demonstrated that EPR spectra of all the aminoxyls were inconsistent with a model that included a single gamma-hydrogen splitting. A better interpretation modeled them as two diastereomers with identical nitrogen splittings and slightly different beta-hydrogen splittings. Detailed line width analyses slightly favored an equal line width-unequal population ratio for the two diastereomers.
Spin trapping experiments with different carbamoyl-substituted EMPO derivatives
The spin trapping behavior of five carbamoyl-substituted EMPO derivatives, 5-aminocarbonyl-5-methylpyrroline N-oxide (CAMPO (AMPO)), 5-aminocarbonyl-5-ethyl-pyrroline N-oxide (CAEPO), 5-aminocarbonyl-5-propyl-pyrroline N-oxide (CAPPO), 5-aminocarbonyl-5-n-butyl-pyrroline N-oxide (CABPO), and 5-aminocarbonyl-5-n-pentyl-pyrroline N-oxide (CAPtPO), toward different oxygen-and carbon-centered radicals is described, the stabilities of the superoxide adducts ranging from about 8 to 17 min.
