Abstract
Amines are transformed into the corresponding imines by environmentally benign catalytic oxidation reactions. Gaseous oxygen or hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidant, and water is the only byproduct. When a vanadium complex is used as the catalyst in an ionic liquid, the amine oxidation successfully proceeds with recycling of the catalyst. Amine oxidation with hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant in water is also attained by using copper(II) sulfate as catalyst. In addition, photoinduced oxidation of amines to imines is conducted by using oxygen as the oxidant in the presence of a zinc–chlorin complex as catalyst.
