Double oxidation of α-(alkylideneamino)nitriles to imides by molecular oxygen under mild basic conditions

Abstract

We reveal here the unique reactivity of α-(alkylideneamino)nitriles toward molecular oxygen. Thus, α-(alkylideneamino)nitriles can serve as the imide building block for the efficient synthesis of imides in the absence of transition metals under extremely mild conditions.
