It is difficult to imagine organic chemistry without organo‐halogen compounds and the
molecular halogens needed for their preparation. The halogens have very different …

Bromination of organic substances is still an important reaction in modern synthetic
chemistry. In view of the increasing demand for sustainable synthetic chemistry, oxidative …

Acetophenone is an important chemical intermediate often employed in the production chain
of many pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, food, and cosmetic products. It is industrially …

A direct benzylic oxidation of alkylarenes via C–H bond abstraction was developed using
alkali metal bromides and oxidants under mild conditions. This reaction proceeded with …

A photooxygenation of benzylic sp3 C–H reaction has been demonstrated using O2
