Oxidation of unactivated primary aliphatic amines catalyzed by an electrogenerated 3,4-azaquinone species: A small-molecule mimic of amine oxidases
High catalytic performance of the electrogenerated amine oxidase mimic 3,4-iminoquinone 1ox is observed under metal-free conditions in the chemoselective oxidation reaction of unactivated primary aliphatic amines.
