Base-oxidant promoted metal-free N-demethylation of arylamines

A metal-free oxidative N -demethylation of arylamines with triethylamine as a base and tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant is reported in this paper. The reaction is general, practical, inexpensive, non-toxic, and the method followed is environmentally benign, with moderate to good yields. G...

Description
Summary:A metal-free oxidative N -demethylation of arylamines with triethylamine as a base and tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant is reported in this paper. The reaction is general, practical, inexpensive, non-toxic, and the method followed is environmentally benign, with moderate to good yields. Graphical Abstract Here we report a metal-free oxidative N -demethylation of arylamines with triethylamine as a base and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant. The reaction is general, practical, inexpensive, nontoxic and an environmentally benign method, with moderate to good yields.
