    Abstract: Nitrone derivatives are efficiently prepared by increasing reagent concentrations in reaction solutions. Aldehydes and amines may be condensed to prepare an imine intermediate. Elimination of the solution media generally renders the imine formation more efficient. The imine is then reacted with a peroxysulfate oxidizing agent in a solution having at least about 0.1M concentration of the imine. The oxaziridine is rearranged to produce the nitrone derivative in high yield and good purity.
