Abstract

Abstract Co (salen) catalyzed oxidation of 2, 4, 6-trisubstituted (preferentially 2, 6-di-tert- butylated) anilines withtert-butylhydroperoxide gives 4-tert-butylperoxy-2, 5-cyclohexadien-1- imine and nitrobenzene derivatives. The relative ratio of the products depends on the nature of the substituents in the substrate.
