CDC reaction of tertiary amines with nitroalkanes

Amine (0.2 mmol), nitroalkane (0.4 mmol), and TBHP (0.24 mmol, 5.5 M in decane); otherwise are mentioned.

*NMR yields are based on amines and determined by ¹H NMR using an internal standard; isolated yields are given in parentheses.

^†1 equiv (0.2 mmol) of nitromethane was used.

^‡The ratio of two isomers is 2.1.

^§1 ml of nitromethane was used.
