Abstract
An in situ formed complex of commercially available dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene) ruthenium(II) and simple hexamethylenetetramine catalyzes acceptorless dehydrogenative oxidation of primary amines into nitriles in good yields. The synthetic protocol is highly selective and produces hydrogen as the sole byproduct.
