The anionic oxidation of alkyl aromatic azomethines was studied.Under the influence of oxygen in an alkaline aprotic medium N-benzylidenealkylamines and N-alkylidenebenzylamines undergo oxidative degradation at the C=N bond and at the α-carbon atom with the formation mainly of carbonyl products.Oxidation takes place smoothly through the 2-azaallyl anions, whereas the competing condensation reaction takes place predominantly through the 1-azaallyl anions.Compounds of a new type, i.e., 1,1-imino alcohols, can be obtained during the oxidation of the azomethines in the presence of sodium borohydride.
