Tell me about the oxidation reaction with sodium percarbonate in general how far it oxidize a compound like phenthylamine
Accepted Answer
The oxidation of phenethylamine by sodium percarbonate can proceed through different pathways, depending on the reaction conditions. In general, sodium percarbonate is a relatively mild oxidizing agent, and the oxidation of phenethylamine is likely to stop at the formation of the corresponding imine. However, under more forcing conditions, the oxidation can proceed further to form the corresponding nitrile or even the carboxylic acid. The specific products and the extent of oxidation will depend on the reaction conditions, such as the temperature, the pH, and the presence of catalysts or other reagents.
