Oxidation of N-alkylpiperidines and other cyclic, tertiary amines with Hg(II)-EDTA complex in basic solution yields lactams, similar oxidation of N-hydroxypiperidines gives hydroxamic acids (presumably via nitrones) and oxidation of N-unsubstituted piperidines affords lactams, probably via 1-piperidine trimers.
