Mechanistic Investigations on the Reaction between Amines or Amides and an Alkylperoxy-λ3-iodane

Abstract
A mechanism involving the intermediate formation of an amine radical cation by single-electron transfer is proposed for the oxidation of secondary amines with alkylperoxy-lambda(3)-iodane. On the other hand, the oxidation of acetamides probably proceeds by a radical process, which involves the direct hydrogen abstraction of the methylene group alpha to the nitrogen atom.
