Abstract

ABSTRACT: The oxidation of various N-(o-, m-, p-substituted benzyl)-N-alkylhydroxylamines and their dideuteriobenzyl (PhCD2) counterparts was carried out using mercury (II) oxide and p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) as oxidants. An overwhelming preference for the formation of conjugated nitrones is observed in the oxidation of N-benzyl-N-isopropylhydroxylamines. Considerable intra-and intermolecular kinetic isotope effects and negative r values in the ...
