Abstract

An efficient, facile, and high-yielding procedure for the direct oxidative conversion of alcohols, aldehydes, and primary, secondary, and tertiary amines into the corresponding nitriles using the hypervalent iodine(III) reagent hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene in combination with ammonium acetate as a nitrogen source is reported. The oxidation proceeded in mixed solvent to afford nitriles in excellent yields and high selectivity even at room temperature. Selective oxidation of primary amines in the presence of secondary amines and tertiary amines was also achieved. A possible mechanism for the oxidation is proposed.

Key words

alcohols - aldehydes - amines - hypervalent iodine - oxidations
