“…An ideal oxidative synthesis of N , N -dialkylhydroxylamines would give a high yield, have broad functional group tolerance, produce little to no overoxidation, and require only a simple purification method that results in products with high purity. Toward such a goal, UHP appeared to be an ideal source of anhydrous hydrogen peroxide, even if the reaction was slow in most standard solvents. Interestingly, fluorinated alcohol solvents, including 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), have been shown to dramatically increase the rate of several types of oxidations using hydrogen peroxide .…”
