Ruthenium(II) complexes can be used to oxidise N-Boc-hydroxylamine in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to the corresponding nitroso dienophile, which is trapped by cyclohexa-1,3-diene as the hetero-Diels-Alder adduct. Direct evidence h... Read More about The development and application of ruthenium catalysed oxidations of a hydroxamic acid and in situ Diels-Alder trapping of the acyl nitroso derivative.
