RuO4-mediated oxidation of secondary amines. Part 1. Are hydroxylamines the main intermediates?

The RuO4-catalyzed oxidation of secondary amines Bn-NH-CH2R (1a and b; R=H, Me) gave mainly amides, but minute amounts of nitrones PhCH=N(O)-CH2R (9a and b) and traces of Bn-N(OH)-CH2R (R=H, 4a) were also detect

Cyano-O-silylhydroxylamines as Nitrone Blocking Groups

Addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to N-alkyl-C-phenylnitrones affords cyano-O-silylhydroxylamines; reaction of these species with silver fluoride regenerates the nitrone in quantitative yield thereby providing a useful nitrone blocking group.
