Abstract
A novel method for the highly efficient deoxygenation of tertiary and aroma tic amine oxides is described. The initial step of the reaction is the O-fo rmylation of the amine oxide by formic pivalic anhydride which is produced in situ. The approach has the advantage of superior convenience in preparat ion and work-up since all products of the reaction are solids or gases rend ering the amine very readily separable.
