Abstract

Highly efficient procedures for the preparation of nitrones bearing an oxygenated functionality at the β-position of the nitrone nitrogen, via either condensation of hydroxylamines with aldehydes or oxidation of the precursor imine, are described. The reactions proceeded smoothly at ambient temperature and the desired products were obtained in high to excellent yields. A total of 45 nitrones and 16 single-crystal analyses have been obtained.
