• noteworthy and widely explored transformations of nitrosoarenes include nitroso ene reactions [9][10][11], Diels–Alder cycloadditions [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and nitroso aldol reactions [19][20][21][22][23]. Among the various applications of nitrosoarenes, the asymmetric nitroso aldol reaction to

• either FeTPA (1 mol %) or FeBPMEN (10 mol %) converts cyclohexene to the allylic hydroxylamine (tert-butyl cyclohex-2-en-1-yl(hydroxy)carbamate) in moderate yields. Spectroscopic studies and trapping experiments suggest the reaction proceeds via a nitroso–ene mechanism, with involvement of a free N-Boc
