Abstract

View all references However, these methods of oxidation had limitations due to formation of side products formed mainly from the partial oxidation of the amines, giving moderate yields. In the present study, the versatility of the tetra??n??propylammonium bromates and tetra??n??butylammonium bromates as oxidizing agents is established by the fact that several aromatic amines could be oxidized to the nitro compounds using simple reaction techniques. Further, work up was ...
