The reaction of p-cyano-N,N-dimethylaniline N-oxide, an O-atom donor, with different copper(I) complexes (at room temperature and in acetone) indicates the formation via O-atom transfer of a high-valent copper oxyl species, CuII-O?, a putative key intermediate in the catalytic cycle of copper-containing monooxygenases. The formation of p-cyano-N-hydroxymethyl-N-methylaniline and p-cyano-N-methylaniline as the main products of the reaction highlight the capability of this species to hydroxylate strong C-H bonds (bond dissociation energy ~90 kcal/mol). A plausible mechanism for the reactivity of this catalytic system is proposed.

The special reactivity of N,N-dialkylaniline N-oxides allows practical and convenient access to electron-rich aryl halides. A complementary pair of reaction protocols allow for the selective para-bromination or ortho-chlorination of N,N-dialkylanilines in up to 69% isolated yield. The generation of a diverse array of halogenated anilines is made possible by a temporary oxidation level increase of N,N-dialkylanilines to the corresponding N,N-dialkylaniline N-oxides and the excision of the resultant weak N-O bond via treatment with thionyl bromide or thionyl chloride at low temperature.

Ultrafine ruthenium oxide nanoparticles (RuO2NPs) with an average diameter of 1.3 nm were anchored on graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) using a Ru(acac)3 precursor by a very simple dry synthesis method. The resultant material (GNPs-RuO2NPs) was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the N-oxidation of tertiary amines for the first time. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the GNPs-RuO2NPs showed the excellent attachment of RuO2NPs on GNPs. The loading of Ru in GNPs-RuO2NPs was 2.68 wt%, as confirmed by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) and the X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) of GNPs-RuO 2NPs revealed that the chemical state of Ru on GNPs was +4. After the optimization of reaction conditions for N-oxidation of triethylamine, the scope of the reaction was extended to various aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic tertiary amines. The GNPs-RuO2NPs showed excellent catalytic activity in terms of yields even at a very low amount of Ru catalyst (0.13 mol%). The GNPs-RuO2NPs was heterogeneous in nature, chemically as well as physically, very stable and could be reused up to 5 times. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014.
