Rw. Murray et al., OXIDATION OF ORGANONITROGEN COMPOUNDS BY THE METHYLTRIOXORHENIUM-HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SYSTEM, Tetrahedron letters, 37(6), 1996, pp. 805-808
Methyltrioxorhenium catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with o
rganonitrogen compounds. The reactions are facile and high yield at ro
om temperature or below. The observed chemistry is similar to that pre
viously described by us using dimethyldioxirane as the oxidant.
