General Experimental

All reactions were carried out in oven dried glassware under an argon atmosphere. All reagents

and solvents were purchased from commercial suppliers and were used without further

purification unless otherwise specified. All separations were carried out by flash chromatography

using silica gel (230-400 mesh) or neutral alumina (32-63 μm) as stationary phase unless

otherwise specified. Thin layer chromatography was performed with pre-coated glass backed

plates (w/UV 254) and visualized by UV irradiation (254 nm) or by charring in cerium-

ammonium-molybdate (CAM) or ninhydrin solution. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of all compounds

were recorded using 400 MHz or 500 MHz instruments. High resolution mass spectra were

recorded under electrospray conditions with a time of flight mass analyzer. Melting points were

determined using an electrothermal melting point apparatus.

General procedure (A) for synthesis of O-benzoyl hydroxylamines from secondary amines.

amine (1 mmol, 1 equiv) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room

temperature until the completion as indicated by TLC analysis. The reaction was quenched by

addition of water (10 mL) and then was stirred vigorously for 1 h. The resultant mixture was

extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL x 2), the combined ethyl acetate layer was washed with

saturated aq. NaHCO3, water, and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated under

reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on

silica gel to afford the desired O- benzoyl hydroxylamine.

N,N-Dibenzyl-O-((5-methylfuran-2-yl)benzyl)hydroxylamine (7e).

To a stirred solution of 2a (100 mg, 0.32 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry CH2Cl2 (1.9 mL) were added

sequentially, dropwise DIBAL (0.64 mL, 1 M in hexane, 0.64 mmol, 2 equiv), pyridine (78 μL,

0.96 mmol, 3 equiv), a solution of DMAP (78 mg, 0.64 mmol, 2 equiv) in dry CH2Cl2 (0.9 mL),

and Ac2O (182 μL, 1.92 mmol, 6 equiv) at –78 oC. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h

(overnight) at –78 oC, warmed slowly to 0 oC, and quenched by adding saturated aq. NH4Cl (3.2

mL) and saturated aq. sodium potassium tartrate (2.4 mL) at 0 oC. The resultant mixture was

warmed to room temperature and stirred vigorously for 1 h. Then the mixture was extracted with

CH2Cl2 (3 mL x 4), the combined organic layer was washed with brine (5 mL), dried over

anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude intermediate 5a was

dissolved in dry CH2Cl2 (6.4 mL) to which were added sequentially, dropwise 2-methylfuran (72

NaHCO3 (20 mL). The resultant mixture was extracted with pentane (20 mL x 2), the combined

organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated under reduced pressure, and

purified by flash column chromatography on neutral alumina (0 – 5 % of ethyl acetate in hexane)

To a stirred solution of 5f (50 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry CH2Cl2 (2.5 mL) were added

sequentially, dropwise 2-methylfuran (28 μL, 0.31 mmol, 2.5 equiv) and BF3.OEt2 (40 μL, 0.31
