Abstract

Oxidation reactions are one of the fundamental functional group transformation reactions in organic synthesis. 1 Especially the development of improved chemoselective oxidation methodologies is still eagerly needed in order to increase reaction efficiencies and to decrease the generation of waste. While the major interest has been on the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding ketones and aldehydes, 2 the direct oxidation of benzylamines to the corresponding ...
