Abstract

Oxidation of various N-(o-, m-, p-substituted benzyl)-N-methylhydroxylamines has been carried out using mercury (II) oxide and p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) as oxidants. Hammett plots have been obtained with negative ρ values, showing the development of a positive centre in the transition state. The unstable E nitrones, which readily isomerize to the more stable Z nitrones, are obtained in appreciable quantities and in some cases as the major product. ...
