Abstract
2-aminomethyl phenols 1 ( a : R = CH 3 ; b : R = H) oxidized by molecular oxygen in presence of iron and iron(II) chloride in catalytic amount chiefly afford aldehyde 2, formamide 4 and oxazine 5. The mechanisms of these oxidations and the nature of the reactive species are discussed; in particular the possible intermediate role of tertiary amine oxide 1c in the oxidative dealkylation of tertiary amine 1a.
