Imine derivatives are important building blocks for the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.[1] Generally, their synthesis involves condensation of an amine and a carbonyl compound. To circumvent the problem caused by the excessively active nature of ketones or aldehydes, an alternative strategy for the direct oxidation of amines has attracted much interest.[2] Dioxygen, or more preferably dioxygen in the air, embodies the ...
