Abstract

•Selective oxidation of amines was studied.•Trichloroacetonitrile-hydrogen peroxide system was a selective system for oxidation.•Trichloromethylperoxyimidic acid is an active reagent for the oxidation processes.

A variety of tertiary and secondary amines were efficiently oxidized to their corresponding N-oxides and nitrones, respectively, using the trichloroacetonitrile-hydrogen peroxide system. The in situ generated trichloromethylperoxyimidic acid is the active reagent for the oxidation processes.
