J. Mlochowski et M. Giurg, OXIDATIVE TRANSFORMATIONS OF ALDAZINES AND KETAZINES WITH ORGANIC PEROXYACIDS, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 68(11), 1994, pp. 2333-2342
Oxidation of aromatic aldazines and ketazines with various peroxycarbo
xylic acids was investigated. It was found that one part of azine mole
cule 2 was converted into carbonyl compound 1 or related acid 3 while
the second part was transformed into carboxylic ester 4 related to per
oxyacid used as an oxidant. It was revealed that aromatic azines could
be used as a source of diazaarylmethanes and mechanisms of reactions
studied were postulated.
