Abstract
The reaction of N-alkylhydroxylamines and aqueous hydroxylamine with monosubstituted allenes gives nitrones and oximes, respectively, in good yields. DFT calculations support a proposed concerted, five-membered Cope-type hydroamination process, and calculated transition state energies are in excellent agreement with experimental observations.
