Although nitrones have been largely used as spin traps for short-lived reactive free radicals, only a few reports document their use in synthetically useful radical additions; for a recent example of a chiral nitrone employed in radical additions for the enantioselective synthesis of α-amino acids, see: M. Ueda, H. Miyabe, M. Teramachi, O. Miyata, T. Naito, Chem. Commun. 2003, 426-427.
