Generally amines go through a number of steps to undergo oxidation, depending upon the oxidising agent and/or other parameters:

Here are a nuber of possible ways in which an amine can undergo oxidation with KMnO4.

Primary amine:

RCH2 NH2 ———→ RCH = NH (aldimine) ———→ RCHO (aldehyde) + NH3

R2 CHNH2 ———→ R2C = NH (ketimine)———→ R2CO (ketone) + NH3

R3C-NH2 ———-> R3C-NO2

Tertiary alkylamines, with KMnO4, are generally oxidised to nitro compounds (when the -NH2 group is attached to a tertiary carbon).

In both of the first cases, KMnO4 is the oxidising agent and is used in the first step. H2O is used as the second step.

Secondary amine:

R2NH ——→ R2N-NR2 (Tetra-alkyl hydrazine), with KMnO4.

With Caro’s acid (H2SO5):

R2NH ——→ R2NOH (Hydroxylamine)

Tertiary amine:

Mostly they won’t be oxidised by KMnO4 but by Peroxymonosulfuric acid, (H2SO5) or Caro’s acid, to form amine oxides
