Oxidation of Tertiary Aromatic Alcohols to Ketones in Water

A new rosin-based amphiphile enables the oxidation of tertiary aromatic alcohols in water under mild conditions. The oxidation process is mediated by β-scission of alkoxy radicals. Our catalyst system including the surfactant, catalysts, and water can be easily recycled within the same reaction vial. (Figure presented.).

Time-resolved kinetic study of the electron-transfer reactions between ring-substituted cumyloxyl radicals and alkylferrocenes. Evidence for an inner-sphere mechanism

A time-resolved kinetic study of the reactions of ring-substituted cumyloxyl radicals (4-X-CumO.: X = OMe, t-Bu, Me, Cl, CF3) with methylferrocenes (MeNFc: n = 2, 8, 10) has been carried out in acetonitrile solution. Evide

Improved preparative route toward 3-arylcyclopropenes

A convenient preparative protocol for the synthesis of various 3-arylcyclopropenes in a multigram scale is disclosed. Optimization of the reaction conditions and isolation procedures allowed for significant improvement of the chemical yields of these strained products. The described protocol was used for efficient preparation of a series of 3-methyl-3-arylcyclopropenes possessing different substituents in the aromatic ring. The effect of substitution in the aryl group on the stability of 3-arylcyclopropenes, as well as the corresponding precursors, is discussed.
