N-Alkoxyamines: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications in Polymer Chemistry, Organic Synthesis, and Materials Science

Abstract

This review describes methods for the synthesis of N-alkoxyamines developed over the past 15 years. Applications of N-alkoxyamines in living radical polymerization, macromolecular chemistry, stabilization of polymers or fluorescence sensing and imaging are discussed and emerging radical additions and cyclizations mediated by N-alkoxyamines are presented.
