Aliphatic amine N-oxides, particularly (CH_3)_3NO, have been widely used as O-atom transfer reagents in organometallic chemistry. Recently the systematic kinetic studies on O-atom transfer reactions have been reported in detail. However, little is known about the use of pyridine N-oxides and the related aromatic amine N-oxides as O-atom transfer reagents in organometallic chemistry, and no kinetic or mechanical Aliphatic amine N-oxides, particularly (CH_3) _3NO, have been widely used as O-atom transfer reagents in organometallic chemistry.
