Abstract

Abstract An aqueous reaction medium, based on a surfactant solution of dimethyldodecylamine N-oxide (DDAO) has been developed for the oxidative dehydrogenation of primary amines using NiSO 4 as catalyst and K 2 S 2 O 8 as oxidant. This reaction medium enhances the rate of the reaction relative to other media previously reported in the literature, which are also toxic. The reactions of various aliphatic and cyclic ...
