Abstract
[Fe(CN)5NO]2−, (1) and [Ru(bpy)2(NO)Cl]2+, (2) react with PhCH2NH2 to produce mainly N-benzylphenyl-methanimine and PhCN as oxidation products. (PhCH2)2NH, PhCH2Cl and PhCH2OH are formed as diazotization products. Products derived from the benzyl radical (such as PhMe), are also formed. Since oxidation products are generated even in the absence of oxygen, a mechanism in which the nitrosyl ligand acts as an oxidant is proposed.
