title: Lewis acid-catalyzed oxidation of benzylamines to benzamides.
abstract: A novel Lewis acid-catalyzed oxidation of benzylamines to the corresponding amides has been developed. Using 10 mol% of ZnBr(2) or FeCl(3) as the catalyst and TBHP as the oxidant, amides were produced under mild conditions.
