Under the reaction conditions, amines were selectively oxidized to the nitrile in the presence of a primary hydroxy group within the same molecule. © Thieme Stuttgart.Mahidol UniversityChemical EngineeringChemistryOxidative conversion of amines into their corresponding nitriles using o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX)/iodine: Selective oxidation of aminoalcohols to hydroxynitrilesArticleSCOPUS10.1055/s-2008-1067123
