Oxidative Halogenation with "Green" Oxidants: Oxygen and Hydrogen Peroxide
TL;DR: A better approach, which is based on biomimetric research on oxidative halogenation in nature, consists of generating the halogenating reagent in situ under acidic conditions from a halide salt and the result of such a reaction has been Halogenation with 100 % halogen atom economy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bromination of ketones with H2O2–HBr “on water”
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple but effective "on water" bromination of ketones with an aqueous H2O2-HBr system is described, which is characterised by the use of inexpensive reagents, a lower impact on the environment and the absence of organic waste that make it a good alternative to existing Bromination methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study demonstrates an alternative mechanism that allows cells and organisms to adjust intracellular CoA levels by using exogenous CoA, and answers long-standing questions in fundamental cell biology and has major implications for the understanding of CoA-related diseases and therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visible light induced ‘on water’ benzylic bromination with N-bromosuccinimide
TL;DR: Benzylic bromination of various 4-substituted toluenes (Me, tert-Bu, COOEt and COMe) was effectively conducted with NBS in pure water and with a 40 W incandescent lightbulb as an initiator of the radical chain process, while electron donating groups (OMe and NHAc) directed the reaction to electrophilic aromatic substitution as discussed by the authors.
