Tetrafluoroborate salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkylamines are resistant toward N oxidation by methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (1b), which allows the selective oxidation of aliphatic tertiary and secondary C-H bonds in the alkyl side chain. The oxidations are carried out at 0-degrees-C with a ketone-free solution of methyl(trifluoromethyl)-dioxirane (1b) in methylene chloride. By this procedure, within 3 h the tertiary C-H bonds of acyclic, cyclic, and polycyclic amines 2a-e are hydroxylated to give the corresponding amino alcohols 3a-e. In the case of the acyclic amines 2a,b longer reaction times were necessary, and in the strong acid medium the corresponding amino acetamides 4a,b were obtained through Ritter reaction with the solvent acetonitrile. The strong electron-withdrawing nature of the ammonium group deactivates the oxidation of even tertiary C-H bonds at the alpha and beta positions. Secondary C-H bonds of the linear aliphatic primary amines 2f-h were oxidized exclusively at the epsilon position to give the 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6-alkylpyridines 6f-h after intramolecular condensation of the corresponding amino ketones 5f-h.
