-aromatic-
N-hydroxylamines has beenprepared by reaction of
tert-butyl (phenylsulfonyl)alkyl-
N-hydroxycarbamates with aromatic and heteroaromatic Grig
nard reagents. Reactions proceed via a base-assisted elimi
nation of the phenylsulfonyl group leading to
N-Boc nitrones.This methodology has been applied to the synthesis ofzileuton.
