Oxidation of amine to nitro in HMTD
Is it possible to oxidize the amines in HMTD to nitro groups? Maybe via NaOCl?

They are tertiary amines, only primary amines can be oxidized to nitro groups. Perhaps the N-oxide can be made. But given that it is a hemiaminal
ether I doubt it will be stable enough to isolate.

Thanks, I saw something on primary amines, but wasn't sure.
