Magnesium dialkylamides react with alcohol-derived 2-methyl-2-tetrahydropyranyl alkyl peroxides (MTHPs) in tetrahydrofuran at 0°C to give N,N,O-trisubstituted hydroxylamines in very good yields. A wide range of substrates are compatible with the described reaction.

A copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination of simple and functionalized aryl, heteroaryl-, benzyl, n-alkyl, sec-alkyl, and tert-alkyl diorganozinc nucleophiles with R₂NOC(O)Ph and RHNOC(O)Ph reagents as electrophilic nitrogen sources provides tertiary and secondary amines, respectively, in generally good yields.

The reaction of magnesium amides with tert-butyl 2,6-dimethyl perbenzoate in tetrahydrofuran at 0 °C provides O-tert-Butyl-N,N-disubstituted hydroxylamines by direct N-O bond formation with a broad functional group tolerance. A reaction mechanism is presented to account for the observed reactivity.

A hypervalent iodine mediated reaction between carboxylic acids and N,N-dimethylformamide occurs under mild conditions at room temperature to provide O-aroyl-N,N-dimethylhydroxylamines in good yields, which are important electrophilic amination reagents. The process shows good functional group compatibility and air and moisture tolerance.
