Abstract: Microwave irradiation has significantly affected the field of organic synthesis and has, emerged as a valuable methodology for facilitating rapid and efficient chemical transformations. In this study, we investigated the oxidation of cyclohexanamine by di-tertiary-butyl chromate (TBC) under microwave irradiation in various organic solvents, including tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1,4-dioxane, and dichloromethane (DCM). The reaction mixtures were prepared by combining the substrate solution with TBC in appropriate ratios, followed by stirring and microwave irradiation for specific durations. The resulting products were characterized using a combination of chemical and instrumental techniques, including elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and mass loss patterns. Our findings demonstrate that this microwave-assisted approach aligns with the principles of green chemistry and offers a sustainable and efficient route for cyclohexanamine oxidation.
