“…In particular, unsymmetrical secondary hydroxylamines often require indirect syntheses, most often achieved by oxidation of a primary amine followed by alkylation. , In this context, methods based on the oxidation of amines are attractive and can provide access to secondary hydroxylamines in fewer steps. Indeed, secondary hydroxylamines have been synthesized via various oxidative methods (Scheme ), including the direct oxidation of secondary amines (Scheme A). , While reported procedures are direct, they often suffer from limitations, including poor chemoselectivity, overoxidation, narrow substrate scope, variable or low yields, or specialized or unstable reagents. Thus, alternative two-step sequences featuring an oxidation step are commonly employed, such as the oxidation of suitable tertiary amines followed by Cope elimination or oxidation of secondary amines with peroxide derivatives to form O -benzoyl hydroxylamines, which can then be cleaved under basic conditions (Scheme B) …”
