Abstract
The oxidation of organic substrates with thallium (III) nitrate (TTN) has been summarised in a recent review1. No systematic study is available using aromatic tertiary amines as substrates. We showed in two previous reports2,3 that these compounds undergo oxidative dealkylation and nitration when oxidised with cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN).
