This review covers two radical carboxylation methods using carbon monoxide, both of which
were developed by our group. The first method, atom transfer carbonylation, converts alkyl …

The mechanistic aspects of photodecarboxylation are examined with respect to the mode of
bond cleavage. Emphasis is placed on recent studies of aromatic substrates. The synthetic …

Rates of decarboxylation (kcof) have been estimated for the acyloxy radicals 7a-f formed in
the photolysis of substituted 1-naphthylmethyl alkanoates 6a-f. These rates are based on a …

An absolute kinetic scale for amidyl radical reactions was established by a combination of
direct laser flash photolysis (LFP) and indirect competition kinetic studies. Six amidyl …

The photochemical reactions of arylmethyl compounds with leaving groups (ArCH2-LG) give
products from both intermediate arylmethyl radical (ArCH2•• LG) as well as ion pairs …

The primary processes in the photochemistry of Fe (III) complexes with carboxylic acids
(glyoxalic, tartaric, pyruvic and lactic) were studied by means of laser flash photolysis. The …

Charge-transfer (CT) photoactivation of the electron donor− acceptor salts of methylviologen
(MV2+) with carboxylate donors (RCO2-) including benzilates [Ar2C (OH) CO2-] and …

The influence of the molecular structure and the required conditions for bond breaking in the
triplet state of 10 carefully selected O-acyloximes (eight of them are original) usable as …

Laser-flash photolysis methods were used to determine Arrhenius functions for cyclizations
of the 4, 4-diphenyl-3-butenyl (2) and trans-4-phenyl-3-butenyl (5) radicals to the 1, 1 …

This series, Mechanisms of Inorganic and Organometallic Reactions, provides an ongoing
critical review of the published literature concerned with the mechanisms of reactions of …
