β¦ Synopsis
TWO general methods for the deamination of primary aliphatic amines, the nitrous acid-amine reaction1 and the nitrosoamide decomposition, 2 have been reported in the chemical literature. We would like to call attention to a third method which we have found to be useful for the conversion of primary amines into esters, alkyl halides, ethers, and related derivatives. This method, suggested by work on the reaction of nitrosyl chloride with aliphatic amines, 3 involves triazene intermediates as outlined in equation (1).

Previously published studies on the oxidative deamination of methylamine by the amine oxidases have determined the formation of radioactively labeled formaldehyde from [(14)C]methylamine. The present work describes a coupled spectrophotometric assay, using formaldehyde dehydrogenase, for the continu
