For the description of a large-scale preparation of a nitrone via the oxidation of a secondary amine with m-CPBA, see: Stappers, F.; Broeckx, R.; Leurs, S.; Van Den Bergh, L.; Agten, J.; Lambrechts, A.; Van den Heuvel, D.; De Smaele, D. Org. Process. Res. Dev. 2002, 6, 911. It is interesting to note that this oxidation presumably goes via the intermediacy of a hydroxylamine.
