Goal of this experiment is basically measuring the velocity of light. As usual we will measure two-way velocity of light (from A to B and back). In contrast to the similar experiments we will not assume that speeds of light from A to B and from B to A are equal. To achieve this we will take into account Earth's movement through the space, rotation ...
We outline a strategy to enable non-directed Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization in the presence of Lewis basic heterocycles. In a high-throughput screen of two Pd-catalyzed C-H acetoxylation reactions, addition of a variety of N-containing heterocycles is found to cause low product conversion. A pyridine-containing test substrate is selected as...
Selective hydroxylation of 3° and benzylic C–H bonds is made possible using a non-metal-based catalyst system, Oxone as the terminal oxidant, and an aqueous fluoroalcohol solvent mixture. The choice of solvent is uniquely effective for this process, but seemingly at odds with our finding that H2O promotes reduction of the oxaziridine intermediate. ...
Mechanistic insight into a C–H hydroxylation reaction catalysed by [(Me3tacn)RuCl3] has been obtained using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) to identify reactive intermediates and to determine the fate of the starting metal complex. Our studies provide direct evidence for the formation of a high-valent dioxo-Ru(VI) spe...
