The effective catalytic oxidation of secondary amines to nitrones with, alkyl hydroperoxides as the primary oxidants is described. The titanium, alkoxi.de catalysts are protected. from the water co-product by the combined use of a tightly binding trialkanolamine ligand and molecular sieves. Nitrones can be obtained in high yields (up to 98%) under homogeneous, anhydrous conditions and even in the absence of solvent. The reactions are fast (2-7 h) and good selectivity and complete conversion can be achieved with as little as 1 % catalyst.
