Oxidative cyclization of 4-penten-1-ols using a Pd catalyst and n-BuONO or n-BuONO/p-benzoquinone afforded 3-hydroxy- and 3-methoxytetrahydropyrans via terminal attack.
It has been common practice to use tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) as a source of nitrogen, oxygen, or nitric oxide. In our current work, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, TBN was used as a source of carbon for N-tert-butyl amides synthesis.
This work employed benzyl alcohol to replace the traditional small molecular alcohol in the synthesis process of sodium azide, and proposed a complete mechanism network to guide process optimization.
This study unveils a light-driven radical strategy for regioselective germyloximation of activated alkenes to enable the synthesis of unique 3D germanes.
Photodynamics of the ethyl radical from highly excited Rydberg states studied using velocity map imaging and ab initio calculations.
