Carbonyls and amines are yin and yang in organocatalysis as they mutually activate and
transform each other. These intrinsically reacting partners tend to condense with each other …

Kinetics of the reactions of aryldiazomethanes (ArCHN2) with benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+)
have been measured photometrically in dichloromethane. The resulting second-order rate …

A metal-free ring opening/halogenation of cycloalkanols, which combines both PPO/TBAX
oxidant system and blue LEDs irradiation, is presented. This method produces diverse γ, δ …

Deprotonated glutathione is among the most potent biological nucleophiles and plays an
important physiological role in cellular detoxification by forming covalent conjugates with …

The addition of phosphines (PR3) to Michael acceptors is a key step in many Lewis-base
catalysed reactions. The kinetics of the reactions of ten phosphines with ethyl acrylate, ethyl …

In certain tumor and diseased tissues, reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as H2O2, are
produced in higher concentrations than in healthy cells. Drug delivery and release systems …

The kinetics of epoxide formation by Darzens condensation of aliphatic ketones 1 with
arylsulfonyl-substituted chloromethyl anions 2 (ArSO2CHCl–) have been determined …

Pyrenediones (PYDs) are efficient photocatalysts for three oxygenation reactions:
epoxidation of electron deficient olefins, oxidative hydroxylation of organoborons, and …

The kinetics of the ring‐opening reactions of thiophenolates with geminal bis (acceptor)‐
substituted cyclopropanes in DMSO at 20° C was monitored by photometric methods. The …

A convenient approach for the synthesis of β-cyanoepoxides is illustrated by iodine (III)-
catalyzed epoxidation of electron-deficient β-cyanostyrenes, wherein the active catalytic …
