This reaction proceeds at room temperature and does not require sunlight or UV radiation to initiate it. The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is characteristic ...

Most importantly, we show that these graphitic oxide materials are active as unique carbocatalysts for low-temperature aerobic epoxidation of linear alkenes in the absence of initiator or metal.

The catalyst exhibited exceptional glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) performance, requiring only 1.23 and 1.33 V vs. RHE to achieve 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively, while achieving a Faraday ...

Oxidizing the end carbon atom of a terminal alkene to form an aldehyde, a process called anti-Markovnikov alkene oxidation, is difficult because the reaction is energetically unfavorable. The ...

Oxidation of the silacycle product results in a formal 1,4-dioxygenation of an alkene. Nature Chemistry - Selective C–H functionalization reactions often rely on the directing effects of ...

Organic peroxy radicals (RO2) and Criegee intermediates (CI, carbonyl oxides) are key reactive species in atmospheric chemistry and play crucial roles in the formation of secondary organic aerosol ...
