The research investigates the oxidation of various primary amines using dimethyldioxirane (1) and in situ oxidations with oxone. The study explores the formation of different products such as oximes, nitroso dimers, nitroalkanes, nitrones, and oxaziridines under various reaction conditions. Key chemicals involved include cyclohexylamine (2a), n-butylamine (2b), benzylamine (2c), n-decylamine (2d), and 5-methyl-3,4-hexadienylamine (2e). The reactions were performed in solvents like acetone and dichloromethane, with reagents such as NaHCO3 and K2CO3 used as buffering agents. The products were analyzed using techniques like NMR, GC, and MS. The study aims to understand the competing processes and optimize the conditions for specific oxidative transformations of primary amines.
