Catalytic oxidation of primary aromatic amines to the corresponding nitroso compounds by H2O2 and [Mo(O)(O2)2(H2O)(hmpa)](hmpa = hexamethylphosphoric triamide)

Abstract
[Mo(O)(O2)2(H2O)(hmpa)]1 catalyses the oxidation of primary aromatic amines to the corresponding nitroso derivatives, in the presence of H2O2 as oxidant.
