| Abstract: | N‐Methylmorpholine N‐(17O‐oxide) and N‐methylmorpholine 15N‐(17O‐oxide) were prepared from N‐methylmorpholine and 15N‐methylmorpholine by oxidation with H2 17O2. The facile one‐pot procedure provided yields of 82 and 76%, respectively. The labeled hydrogen peroxide was obtained by electrolysis of H2 17O followed by autoxidation of 2‐ethylanthraquinol with the molecular oxygen 17O2 generated. The compounds serve for mechanistic studies into gold nanoparticle generation in NMMO solution. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
