Abstract
Abstract The effective catalytic oxidation of secondary amines to nitrones with alkyl hydroperoxides as the primary oxidants is described. The titanium alkoxide catalysts are protected from the water co-product by the combined use of a tightly binding trialkanolamine ligand and molecular sieves. Nitrones can be obtained in high yields (up to 98%) under homogeneous, anhydrous conditions and even in the absence of solvent. The reactions ...
