N-(4-Toluenesulfonyloxy)carbamates based on a range of common amine protecting groups serve as preformed nitrogen sources in the intermolecular osmium-catalyzed oxyamination reaction of a variety of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted alkenes. The reactions occur with low catalyst loadings and good yields and afford high regioselectivity for unsymmetrically substituted alkenes. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
