16. Di- tert -butyldiazene is a stable radical initiator that efficiently gives tert -butyl radicals upon irradiation with a sun lamp (see the Supporting Information for UV absoption spectra). It is commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich.
17. The reaction led to the allylated product via an iodine atom transfer process followed by a rapid Peterson olefination process.

39. No effort to optimize the diastereoselectivity of the reductive amination was made. However, a higher diastereoselectivty (9:1 cis/trans) was obtained for a very closely related system when the hydrogenation was performed with Raney nickel as a catalyst.
