Catalytic Enantioselective Hydrogen Atom Abstraction Enables the Asymmetric Oxidation of Meso Diols. [PDF]
Desymmetrization of meso diols is an important strategy for the synthesis of chiral oxygen-containing building blocks. Oxidative desymmetrization is an important subclass, but existing methods are often constrained by the need for activated alcohol ...

Catalytic Ammonia Oxidation to Dinitrogen by Hydrogen Atom Abstraction
AbstractCatalysts for the oxidation of NH3 are critical for the utilization of NH3 as a large‐scale energy carrier. Molecular catalysts capable of oxidizing NH3 to N2 are rare. This report describes the use of [Cp*Ru(PtBu2NPh2)(15NH3)][BArF4], (PtBu2NPh2=1,5‐di(phenylaza)‐3,7‐di(tert‐butylphospha)cyclooctane; ArF=3,5‐(CF3)2C6H3), to catalytically ...

Hydrogen atom abstraction by a high spin [FeIII=S] complex. [PDF]
Iron sulfur clusters are critical to a plethora of biological processes; however, little is known about the elementary unit of these clusters, namely the [Fe=S]n+ fragment. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a terminal iron sulfido complex.

Hydrogen atom abstraction from hydrocarbons by a copper(III)-hydroxide complex. [PDF]
With the aim of understanding the basis for the high rate of hydrogen atom abstraction (HAT) from dihydroanthracene (DHA) by the complex LCuOH (1; L = N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide), the bond dissociation enthalpy of the ...

Generation of Diazomethyl Radicals by Hydrogen Atom Abstraction and Their Cycloaddition with Alkenes
AbstractA general catalytic methodology for the synthesis of pyrazolines from α‐diazo compounds and conjugated alkenes is reported. The direct hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process of α‐diazo compounds promoted by the tert‐butylperoxy radical generates electrophilic diazomethyl radicals, thereby reversing the reactivity of the carbon atom attached with ...

Selective Hydrogen Atom Abstraction by Hydrogen Atoms in Photolysis and Radiolysis of Alkane Mixtures at 77 K [PDF]
Abstract A selective hydrogen atom abstraction reaction by H atoms, which are produced at 77K by radiolysis of alkane or photolysis of hydrogen halides, has been found in isobutane, 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane (TMB), and cyclopropane matrices as well as in the neopentane matrix. The selective hydrogen atom abstraction reaction is caused by
