20. Recently, we have shown that the reaction of B-alkylcatecholboranes with stable aminoxyl radicals such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxide (TEMPO) produces cleanly alkyl radicals, see ref. [5b].
21. It is well established that alkylboranes react efficiently with hetero-atom-centered radicals such as alkoxyl radicals. For review articles, see H. C. Brown, M. M. Midland, Angew.

Reaction with carbon radicals has not been observed except for a recently reported intramolecular reaction: R. A. Batey, D. V. Smil, Angew. Chem. 1999, 111, 1912-1915; Angew. Chem. Int.

33. 2 afforded better results with tertiary radicals. With secondary and primary alkyl radicals, similar yields are obtained without evaporating the solvent. This evaporation step was not employed when running conjugate additions.
