Abstract

Benzylamines and their derivatives are important building blocks in the chemical, pharmaceutical and polymer industries and have a great contribution in the synthesis of a variety of N-heterocycles. Due to the basic role of N-heterocycles in the synthetic organic chemistry, especially in pharmaceutics, an increasing number of studies are devoted to the oxidative reactions of benzylamines in presence of various catalysts under different conditions in the last decade. Thus in this review, we've focused on the oxidative reactions of benzylamines including a brief description of the reaction mechanisms for the synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds based on the catalytic system applied. In this respect, the related studies from 2012 to 2019, have been categorized and classified in five main sections. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
