Abstract: This invention provides a method of producing N-formylamine by photosensitized oxygenation of aldehyde-amine mixture. According to this invention, N-formylamine can be produced directly by photosensitized oxygenation of an aldehyde-amine mixture without separating intermediate enamine. In this invention, enamine is not used as a reactant, i.e. starting material, but a mixture of the aldehyde and amine is used as a reactant.
