TL;DR: In this paper, the one-pot multicomponent synthesis of β,β-disubstituted-β-amino alcohols via nucleophilic addition of a hydroxymethyl radical to activated ketimines generated in situ in methanol solvent is described.

TL;DR: The tert-butoxyl radical, generated by the aqueous TiIII/TBHP system, abstracts an H atom from alcoholic cosolvents (EtOH, iPrOH), leading to α-hydroxyalkyl radicals thatreduce aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding 1,2-diols.

TL;DR: Following an optimized multicomponent procedure, an aryl amine, a ketone, and a cyclic ether or an alcohol molecule are assembled in a one-pot synthesis by nucleophilic radical addition of ketyl radicals to ketimines generated in situ.

TL;DR: In contrast to the dissolved metal and metal hydride reductions, the reduction of cyclic ketones by the aqueous TiCl3/NH3 system favours the formation of the less thermodynamically stable axial alcohol.

TL;DR: In this article, a process for the oxidation of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons to hydroperoxide catalyzed by N-hydroxy derivatives in the presence of a solvent which includes recovering the catalyst from the oxidation mixture by the possible removal of the solvent by distillation and/or cooling of the mixture, with the consequent precipitation and filtration of the Nhydroxy-derivative catalyst, and adsorption with non-basic adsorbing solids for the substantially complete recovery of the catalyst.
