Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of oxyl radicals with DNA.
Anthony P. Breen,John A. Murphy +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the damage caused to DNA by reactive oxygen-centred radicals, which arise either from the radiolysis of water by ionizing radiation, or from a purely chemical source.
Journal ArticleDOI
KOtBu: A Privileged Reagent for Electron Transfer Reactions?
Joshua P. Barham,Graeme Coulthard,Katie J. Emery,Eswararao Doni,Florimond Cumine,Giuseppe Nocera,Matthew P. John,Leonard Berlouis,Thomas M. McGuire,Tell Tuttle,John A. Murphy +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that direct electron transfer from KOtBu can however occur in appropriate cases, where the electron acceptor has a reduction potential near the oxidation potential of KOt Bu, and the example that is used is CBr4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Azide rearrangements in electron-deficient systems.
Stuart Lang,John A. Murphy +1 more
TL;DR: This tutorial review analyses and summarises key recent developments in the field of Schmidt reactions and concludes that the Schmidt reaction now represents an important reaction in synthetic chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of arenediazonium salts by tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE): Efficient formation of products derived from aryl radicals
TL;DR: Tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE 1), has been exploited for the first time as a mild reagent for the reduction of arenediazonium salts to aryl radical intermediates through a single electron transfer (SET) pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery and development of organic super-electron-donors
TL;DR: Families of very powerful neutral organic super-electron-donors (SEDs) have been developed that carry out metal-free reductions of a range of functional groups and display original selectivities in preferentially reducing benzenes over malonates or cyanoacetates.
