Ceric Ammonium Nitrate in Organic Synthesis. II. Oxidation of N,N-Dimethyl Methoxyphenylmethylamines to Methoxybenzaldehydes

Abstract
N,N-Dimethylmethoxyphenylmethylamines were selectively converted to the corresponding methoxybenzaldehydes using Ceric Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) in acetonitrile/water.
