Abstract
Several structurally differentiated N-alkyl imines were oxidized to their corresponding oxaziridines using UHP/maleic anhydride system. Oxidation reaction was performed under mild conditions and oxaziridines were obtained in good to excellent yields.
Key words
UHP -
N -alkyl imines - oxaziridines

23 Yields refer to isolated pure products. The oxidation products were characterized by comparison of their spectral (IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR) and physical data with the authentic samples.
24 Oxidation of N -benzylphenyl imine(1a ) to 2-benzyl-3-phenyl oxaziridine(2a ) with UHP/maleic anhydride system. A typical procedure: A suspension of compound 1a (0.390 g, 2 mmol), I (0.188 g, 2 mmol), maleic anhydride (0.176 g, 2 mmol) in methanol (8 mL) was stirred at 0 °C. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (eluent, EtOAc-n -hexane, 1:5). The reaction was completed after 40 min. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was passed through a short pad of silica gel. Methanol was removed under reduced pressure. Highly pure oxaziridine(2a ) was obtained in 95% yield (0.354 g). (FT-NMR 500 MHz) CDCl3 : δppm 4.03-4.22 (dd, 2 H), 4.8 (s, 1 H), 7.45-7.6 (m, 10 H).
