50. The same reactions were also conducted with TEMPO, but because of limited options for further chemical transformations this nitroxide radical is of little use in industrial applications.
51. Alkoxyamines based on the 2,6-diethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3,6-trimethylpip- eridine-1-N-oxyl core were also prepared. As a result of the higher sterical hindrance, prolonged reaction times were observed.

56. Typical byproducts ofthis process were 4-oxo-alkoxyamines and C-1- shortened carbon chain homologues of the respective products in small amounts. The former ones can be transformed into the desired product by means of a sodium borohydride treatment during the workup process; the latter ones usually do not have a negative impact on subsequent chemistry. In addition, 1-hydroxy- 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol and 2-methyl-2-penten-4-one were formed and were removed during the workup process. Among the gaseous byproducts carbon dioxide and, in some cases, olefins (generated via β-H radical elimination of the respective alkyl radicals) were identified by GC-MS.
