Autoxidation of ketimines
Abstract
Autoxidation transformed the N-cyclohexylimine derivative of dibenzyl ketone and of 3,4:5,6-di-benzocyclohepta-3,5-dienone into the corresponding α-ketoketimine(or tautomer) and degraded the intermediate N-cyclohexylimine of benzyl benzoyl ketone into benzoic acid, cyclohexyl isocyanide, cyclohexylamine, and dibenzyl ketone.
