<p>A process for the production of organic oxides, characterized by oxidizing a substrate with a hypohalous acid, a hypohalite, chlorine, bromine, or iodine in the presence of both a catalytic amount of a compound represented by the general formula: R<SUP>1</SUP> - X<SUP>1</SUP> - NY - R<SUP>2</SUP> (I) [wherein X<SUP>1</SUP> is -CO- or -SO<SUB>2</SUB>-; Y is hydrogen, potassium, sodium, chlorine, bromine or iodine; R<SUP>1</SUP> is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, -NYR<SUP>3</SUP> or -OR<SUP>3</SUP> (wherein R<SUP>3</SUP> is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group; and Y is as defined above); and R<SUP>2</SUP> is hydrogen or -CO-R<SUP>4</SUP> (wherein R<SUP>4</SUP> is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, -NYR<SUP>5</SUP> or -OR<SUP>5</SUP> (wherein R<SUP>5</SUP> is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group and Y is as defined above)), or alternatively R<SUP>1</SUP> and R<SUP>4</SUP> may be united to form an optionally substituted nitrogenous heterocycle] and water.</p> |
