KrF excimer laser irradiation of ethylamine in aqueous solution results in stepwise oxidation to give ethanolamine and glycine.

Oxidation reaction of aliphatic amines and aminoalcohols in aqueous solution induced by argon arc plasma

Argon arc plasma induced a powerful and stepwise oxidation reaction including conversion of methyl group to carboxyl group, oxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon bond, and oxidative deamination. Main active species were considered to be hydroxyl radicals by decomposition of water molecules.
