Nitrones and oxaziridines. XIII. A convenient method for the oxidation of primary- and secondary-alkyl amines to carbonyl compounds

Abstract

Primary- and secondary-alkyl amines have been converted in good yield into the related carbonyl compounds by sequential conversion into isopropylidene imines and 3,3-dimethyloxaziridines, followed by acidic hydrolysis of the latter. Intermediates need not be isolated.
