Another popular strategy has been to oxidize a-tertiary amines (8) which suffers from chemoselectivity issues and incomplete oxidation. Meanwhile, as illustrated in Figure , numerous methods are available for both one and two-electron Markovnikov olefin hydrofunctionalization yet none are applicable to hydronitration despite the obvious simplifying nature of such a disconnection. Classic two-electron methods for olefin functionalization generally rely on acidic conditions and traverse through carbocation intermediates. One-electron based methods, relying on a MHAT-mechanism feature enhanced chemoselectivity and have been used to achieve diverse functionalizations such as hydration, halogenation, azidation, and cyanation. Given the large body of literature on metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer catalysis (MHAT), a more direct radical-based method to access tertiary nitro compounds from simple olefins (9) was pursued. This disclosure (Figure ) reports the invention of anomeric nitroamides such as 16 and 15 N-16 that singularly address this problem to provide tertiary nitro compounds or their isotopically labeled N-analogs in a mild (neutral conditions) and chemoselective way. As outlined herein, these reagents are stable, easily prepared on decagram-scale, and can be utilized in concert with Co-MHAT conditions on a range of olefins to provide simple access to tertiary nitro compounds in a scalable fashion. It is apparent that taming the nitryl radical (•NO2) to controllably react with olefins at the more substituted positions is difficult as illustrated in Table . For instance, rare examples of trapping this species using toxic NO2 gas with a radical include the thermolysis of AIBN to deliver an adduct in 31% yield (not shown) or of light hydrocarbons at elevated temperature (not shown). Reacting this gas with simple olefins such as allyl benzene is rare and delivers doubly nitrated species. Switching to polar methods, the reaction of fuming nitric acid with olefins is not chemoselective and generally
