Preparation of compounds 2b-g General information All corresponding glassware was oven-dried (80 °C). All solvents were used as received. Routine monitoring of reactions was performed using Merck Silica gel 60 F254, aluminum supported TLC plates; spots were visualized using UV light and ethanolic acidic paraanisaldehyde solution or ethanolic phosphomolybdic solution, followed by heating. 1H, and 13 C 31 P NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 solutions on 300 or 400 MHz spectrometers. Chemical shifts (δ) in ppm are reported using residual non-deuterated solvents as internal reference. Min and Maj stand for minor (SS/RR) and major (SR/RS) diastereomers, respectively, as reported.1,2 High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) have been performed using a mass spectrometer equipped with a pneumatically assisted atmospheric pressure ionization. The mass spectrum was obtained using a time of flight analyzed (ToF). The measure was realized in triplicate, with double internal standardization. The sample was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (400 µL) then diluted (dilution factor 1/104) in a methanolic solution of ammonium acetate (3 mM). The sample solution was infused in the ionization source at a 10 µL/min flow rate. Compound 1 was synthesized as 2:1 mixture of diastereomers according to the literature.1,2 N,N,N-dimethyl-para-bromomethylphenylammonium bromide was prepared as described.3 Typical Procedure for the preparation of 2b-g. To a stirred solution of 1 (500 mg, 1.3 mmol) in THF (12.5 mL) was added para-subsituted benzyl bromide (187 µL, 1.5 mmol) 2 except for 2f. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature under argon for 24h. It was then concentrated in vacuo and triturated with an ether/pentane mixture to yield the targeted alkoxyamine as oil. 4-(1-(N-tert-butyl-N-[1-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-2,2-dimethylpropyl]-aminooxy)-ethyl)-1(4-fluorobenzyl)-pyridinium, bromide (2b): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, mixture of rotamers): δ = 9.9 (br.s, 2H, min), 9.6 (d, J = 4.8 Hz, 2H, Maj), 8.4 (br.s, 2H, min), 7.9 (d, J = 4.8 Hz, 2H, Maj), 7.8 (m, 4H, min), 7.7-7.6 (m, 2H, min and Maj), 7.1-7.0 (m, 2H, min and Maj), 6.5 (br s, 2H, min), 6.5 (br.s, 2H, Maj), 5.3 (q, J = 6.5 Hz, 1H, Maj), 5.1 (m, 1H, min), 4.3-4.1 (m, 2H, min), 4.0-3.9 (m, 2H, min), 3.9-3.8 (m, 2H, Maj), 3.6-3.6 (m, 2H, Maj), 3.5 (s, 1H, Maj), 3.4 (s, 1H, min), 1.6 (d, J = 6.8 Hz, 3H, min), 1.5 (d, J = 6.7 Hz, 3H, Maj), 1.2 (s, 3H, Maj), 1.2-1.1 (s, 12H, min and Maj), 1.1 (s, 11H, min and Maj), 1.0 (t, J = 7.0 Hz, 3H, Maj), 0.8 (s, 9H, min). 13 C NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, mixture of rotamers): δ = 193.1, 164.4, 164.2, 163.2, 163.02, 161.9, 147.7, 146.7 (m), 141.9, 141.1, 137.4, 134.5, 131.8 (d, J = 8.8 Hz), 131.4, 128.1, 125.8, 124.8, 116.4, 116.4 116.2, 116.1, 109.9, 92.1, 65.3, 63.2, 62.4, 62.1, 61.9, 61.5, 61.0, 34.7, 30.2 (d, J = 5.8 Hz), 28.1 (d, J = 2.2 Hz), 27.7, (d, J = 5.1 Hz), 27.1 (d, J = 3.7 Hz), 26.9, 24.7, 23.8 (d, J = 2.9 Hz), 23.9, 15.8 (d, J = 9.6 Hz), 15.6 (m), 14.7. 31 P NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 24.8 (min), 23.9 (Maj).

Optimization of structures, Mulliken and NBO charges by DFT All calculations were performed using Gaussian package 09, revision A02.4 The geometry of the species were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. Vibrational frequencies calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level to insure that the obtained geometries are minima (no imaginary frequency). The vibrational frequencies were scaled by a usual factor of 0.9608. The corresponding thermal corrections were included to obtain the enthalpy and Gibbs free energy values under the standard conditions (p = 1 atm and T = 298.15 K). Values are given in u.a. Table 2SI.
