Abstract
A general, efficient, and metal-free method for aerobic oxidation of primary benzylamines to the corresponding oximes in good yields is catalyzed by N,N′,N″-trihydroxyisocyanuric acid in the presence of acetaldoxime and water as solvent. This practical method uses air as economic and green oxidant, water as green solvent, and tolerates a wide range of substrates.
