Reactions of lead(IV). Part XXVI. Oxidation of some derivatives of hydroxylamine

Abstract

Lead tetra-acetate reacts in one or more of several ways with substituted hydroxylamines, depending on their structures. These are: formation of a 1,3-dipolar compound (NN-dibenzylhydroxylamine), oxidative rearrangement (e.g. O-benzylhydroxylamine), oxidative dimerisation (e.g. N-benzoyl-O-benzylhydroxylamine), and dehydrogenation (e.g. isoxazolidine).
