On the Oxidation of Different Iminic Bonds by Excess of 3-Chloroperbenzoic Acid

Abstract

In the present work the behavior of different substituted iminic bonds toward the oxidative action of 3-chloroperbenzoic acid is reported. The C=N bond was or was not oxidized to oxaziridines, amides, oximes, nitroso-, nitro-, and azodioxy compounds depending on the substituents at the iminic group and on the ­imine/MCPBA stoichiometric ratio.

Key words

imines - oxidation - oxaziridines - C-nitroso compound - oximes
