Oxidation of aliphatic hydroxylamines in aqueous solutions.
The effects of pH, buffer constituents, duration of storage, presence of air, heavy metal ions, extracting solvents and various additives and cofactors on the aerial oxidation of some aliphatic primary and secondary hydroxylamines were investigated. Copper ions were particularly effective catalysts of the oxidation reaction. Conditions to minimize this transformation are described.
