47. Alternatively, the initially formed DIPEA radical cation A could release a hydrogen radical and/or eject a proton toward the isopropyl substituent, instead of toward the ethyl group. However, such a contribution would not lead to the formation of an ethyl substituted nitrone product, but could provide the proton arsenal for the subsequent nitroalkane reduction process.
48. (a) Hydroxyamine 5a was isolated as described in Table 1, entry 7. (b) In a separate reaction, photocatalysis of (2-nitroethyl)benzene, a primary nitroalkane, under condition A′ gives a 58% yield of the corresponding oxime. Presumably, prior to further processing into hydroxylamine, primary dihydroxyamine tends to undergo dehydration to give the oxime product; see ref 12b.
