โฆ Synopsis
In a previous paper (1) we reported the oxidation of dimtthylaniline, ethylmethylaniline and n-butylmethylanilinc with lead tetraacetate (LTA), manganese triacetate (MTA), cobalt triacetate (CTA) and thallium triacetate (TTA) in chloroform-acetic anhydride 1:l at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The results obtained indicated a preference for demethylation over dealkylation. This fact was more apparent for the n-butyl derivative. Literature data referred to the anodic or Fe (III) oxidation of tertiary amines suggest that the productdetermining step is the loss of a proton from the initial radical-ion (II) to
