title: m-CPBA Mediated Metal Free, Rapid Oxidation of Aliphatic Amines to Oximes.
abstract: An efficient, rapid oxidation of various aliphatic amines to oximes using m-CPBA as an oxidant in ethyl acetate is described. High conversion (100%) with >90% oxime selectivity is achieved at room temperature under catalyst-free conditions. Mild reaction conditions along with an easy work up procedure offer lower byproduct formation and high selectivity for oximes in good yield and purity.
