Oxidation of synephrine

[Anonymous No.12612933]

I understand that the hydrogenation of synephrine sould lead to either N-methylphenethylamine or 4-HO-N-Methylphenethylamine (even though I cannot find the second one).
But what would result if it would be oxidized?
I suppose the hydrogen from the beta position would be removed, leaving a double-bonded oxygen behind. Or alternatively both OH groups will be broken and an oxygen will be left on beta and another on R4... but again, I can't find either of these molecules anywhere, so do they even exist?
Is it impossible to oxidize synephrine? I'm fairly sure it should be doable... what do you think?

CO2, ammonia and water

Run an experiment to find out.

Ya you would likely form two double bonded oxygens if you did the oxidation with chromic acid.

Weird question.
>Is it impossible to oxidize synephrine?
Absolutely. It's basic organic chem.
