The oxidative upgrading of amines offers great opportunities for the sustainable production of key N-containing building-blocks for the modern chemical industry. Compared to other oxyfunctionalizations, and despite their potential, amine oxidation reactions are barely explored in the literature. This review aims at drawing attention to this important area and highlights both the major achievements and the challenges that still remain.
