Oxidation reaction of aliphatic amines and aminoalcohols in aqueous solution induced by argon arc plasma
Argon arc plasma induced a powerful and stepwise oxidation reaction including conversion of methyl group to carboxyl group, oxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon bond, and oxidative deamination. Main active species were considered to be hydroxyl radicals by decomposition of water molecules.

FLAME-INDUCED OXIDATION OF ALIPHATIC AMINES IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION
When a town gas-, a hydrogen-, and an ethylene-oxigen flame were blown against the surface of aqueous solution of aliphatic amines, the amines were effectively oxidized to afford amino acids.
