Tetrabutylammonium Peroxydisulfate in Organic Synthesis. Part 8. An Efficient and Convenient Nickel-catalyzed Oxidation of Primary Amines to Nitriles with Tetrabutylammonium Peroxydisulfate
Abstract
A series of primary amines are oxidized to the corresponding nitriles in excellent yields with tetrabutylammonium peroxydisulfate catalyzed by nickel copper formate under basic aqueous conditions.
