Abstract:

In the NaClO4-MeCN solution, an electrochemical oxidative coupling of primary amines was developed with the electrocatalytic medium 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-N-oxyl(ABNO). The electrocatalytic performance of ABNO for the primary amines was studied by cyclic voltammetry. As compared with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine nitroxyl radical under similar conditions, ABNO showed higher electrocatalytic perfor-mance in the oxidation coupling reaction. The Ph—CH=NH was analyzed as the intermediate by electrochemical in situ FTIR. Under the optimized conditions, a series of aromatic primary amines underwent the electrochemical oxidative coupling to form corresponding imines in good to excellent yields with the ABNO as the electrocatalytic medium.

Key words: 9-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-N-oxyl, Cyclic voltammetry, in situ FTIR spectrum, Electro-catalysis, Oxidative coupling
