Hi !

I was asked to investigate the relative reactivities of various aniline
derivatives in the following
reaction:

Ph-NH2 -> Ph-NHOH -> Ph-NO

where Ph are differently substituted Phenyl or Azaphenyl (Pyridine,
Pyrimidine...) rings.
I have never dealt with this kind of problem, so I wonder if you have any
idea how to tackle
such a question, possible problems or pitfalls, pointers to literature
etc...

Thanks for any input; if there is enough interest Ill summarize.
