Abstract

Iminoquinones were synthesized by oxidation of primary and secondary amines with hypervalent iodine reagent Dess-Martin periodinane in average to good yields, and possible mechanisms were postulated. This methodology is convenient to establish a library of diversified iminoquinone compounds and has great significance for their potential application in the field of pharmaceuticals.
