- C-N, C-O, and C-S oxidation involve two main types.
1- Hydroxylation of the -carbon atom directly attached toheteroatom, to produce unstable intermediate which decomposes bycleavage the C-X bond.
2- Hydroxylation of the heteroatom (N,S only) forming N-
hydroxyl, N-oxide, sulphoxide and sulphone.

- Nitrogen containing compounds are divided into three basic classes:
1- Aliphatic (1, 2, 3) and alicyclic (2, 3) amines
2- Aromatic and heterocyclic nitrogen compounds
3- Amides

- Tertiary amines:
- Oxidative removal of alky group (oxidative N-dealkylation) by P-
450. Started by -carbon hydroxylation to form carbinolamineintermediate, then cleavage of C-N bond to secondary amine andcarbonyl moiety (Aldehyde or ketone).

- Small alky groups are normally removed quickly, and the first is
removed faster.

- Complete dealkylation reactions will lead to oxidation of primaryamine to carboxylic acid.
- t-butyl moiety is not possible to be removedbecause no alpha H tobe hydroxylated with the exception of t-butyl-norchlorcyclazine,which occur through oxidation of terminal CH3to carboxylic acidthen decarboxylated to produce H at alpha carbon.

- Secondary amines:Undergo oxidative N-dealkylation, oxidative deamination, and N-
oxidation reactions.- Oxidative N-Dealkylation:Carbinolamine pathway which produces
primary amine (the same as for tertiary amines).

- Secondary amines:
- Oxidative Deamination:process by which a molecule loses the
primary amine group by the same carbinolamine intermediate.
- In general, the first step is N-dealkylation, then deamination
- There is an exception such as propranolol in which the oxidativedeamination can occur directly through the oxidation of the alpha-carbon of its secondary amine.

Aromatic amines and heterocyclic Nitrogen compounds
- Tertiary and secondary aromatic amines are not common inmedicinal drugs while the primary amines are abundant(fromenzymatic reduction of aromatic nitro compounds, reductivecleavage of azo compounds and hydrolysis of aromatic amides).
- Tertiary aromatic amineswill undergo N-dealkylationand N-oxide
formation.

- Aromatic N-oxidationis considered a minorconstitute compared toN-acetylationand aromatic hydroxylation.
- Methemoglobinemiais a common side effect of aromatic amines(dapsone) when they are converted to N-hydroxyl derivatives. TheN-hydroxyl derivatives are able to oxidize the Fe+2to Fe+3inhemoglobin which will prevent oxygen transport (suffocation).

- Alcohol is produced from different metabolic pathways such asoxidation of benzylic, allylic, alicyclic or aliphatic oxidation.
- If the OH is not conjugated, it will further oxidized.
- Primary alcohol and aldehydesgive facile oxidation to carboxylicacid.
- Less important, secondary alcohol to ketone, not that importantas it may be reduced again to alcohol as it is easier to beconjugated.
- The enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenaseperform reversiblereaction that converts alcohol to aldehyde and ketone, usingNAD+ as a coenzyme.
- Further oxidation of aldehyde to COOH, is done by aldehydeoxidaze and xanthine oxidize.
