Abstract

A requirement for the process, is the presence of at least one hydrogen in the α-position to the amino group. We thought that the reaction could initially involve the formation of intermediate enamines resulting from dehydration of the starting amino alcohols, because the photooxidation of enamines with CC bond cleavage is a well-known process. [4] [12] Nevertheless, when the reaction was performed by using enamines as the starting material, we did not obtain ...
