An efficient catalytic method has been developed for aerobic oxidation of primary amines to the corresponding nitriles. The reactions proceed at room temperature and employ a catalyst consisting of (4,4'- <i><sup>t</sup></i> Bu<sub>2</sub>bpy)CuI/ABNO (ABNO = 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one <i>N</i>-oxyl). The reactions exhibit excellent functional group compatibility and substrate scope, and are effective with benzylic, allylic and aliphatic amines. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a ...[more]
