Abstract
The methyltrioxorhenium-catalyzed oxidation of secondary amines and primary amines with hydrogen peroxide has been carried out. The oxidation of secondary amines afforded nitrones in good-to-excellent yield. Benzylamines were selectively oxidized to oximes, while general primary alkylamines possessing the α-C–H bond gave mixtures of oximes, nitroso dimers, and azoxy compounds.
