The periodate oxidation of nitrones

Abstract
The periodate oxidation of some Δ1-pyrroline 1-oxides with two substituents at C-5 but unsubstituted at C-2 leads to a series of 4-nitrosopentanoic acids. Evidence is adduced for the course of the reaction. An N-alkylhydroxyamino-compound is oxidised in chloroform to the nitroso-compound by tetraethylammonium periodate, a potentially useful reagent soluble in various organic solvents.
