Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxylamines as Oxidation Catalysts: Thermochemical and Kinetic Studies
Riccardo Amorati,Marco Lucarini,Veronica Mugnaini,Gian Franco Pedulli,Franceso Minisci,Francesco Recupero,Francesca Fontana,Paola Astolfi,Lucedio Greci +8 more
TL;DR: Kinetic studies, carried out in order to better understand the mechanism of the NHPI-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of cumene, are consistent with a simple kinetic model where the rate-determining step is the hydrogen atom abstraction from the hydroxylamine by cumylperoxyl radicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic oxidation of N-alkylamides catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide under mild conditions. Polar and enthalpic effects.
TL;DR: The results are explained through hydrogen abstraction by the phthalimide-N-oxyl (PINO) radical, whose reactivity with benzyl derivatives is governed by polar effects, so that benzylamides are much more reactive than the corresponding aldehydes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noncovalent paramagnetic complexes: detection of halogen bonding in solution by ESR spectroscopy
Veronica Mugnaini,Carlo Punta,Rosalba Liantonio,Pierangelo Metrangolo,Francesco Recupero,Giuseppe Resnati,Gian Franco Pedulli,Marco Lucarini +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nitroxides behave as strong electron donors in halogen bonding, giving rise to interactions whose strength is close to that of strong hydrogen bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroperoxidation of Tertiary Alkylaromatics Catalyzed By N-Hydroxyphthalimide and Aldehydes under Mild Conditions
Lucio Melone,Cristian Gambarotti,Simona Prosperini,Nadia Pastori,Francesco Recupero,Carlo Punta +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a metal-free catalytic system consisting of an aldehyde and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) for the selective oxidation of tertiary alkylaromatics with molecular oxygen has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sunlight-induced reactions of some heterocyclic bases with ethers in the presence of TiO2: A green route for the synthesis of heterocyclic aldehydes
TL;DR: In this paper, the reactions between various heterocyclic bases and ethers induced by sunlight are reported, and the photoreaction occurred with higher yields in liquid-solid heterogeneous system in the presence of polycrystalline TiO2 than in homogeneous system.
