TL;DR: The molybdenum(VI) peroxo complex as discussed by the authors, synthesized from the reaction of MoO 3 with H 2 O 2 and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (dmpz), selectively oxidizes benzylic C-H bonds of alkylbenzenes to the corresponding alcohols and ketones.

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient method for selective oxidation of various types of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones in good to high yields using 30% H2O2 in the presence of catalytic amounts of molybdate-based catalyst in acetonitrile as solvent at room temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, an indirect electroreduction of N-allylic and N-propargyl-α-bromo amides and o bromoacryloylanilides gave the corresponding 5-membered lactams.
Abstract: Nickel(II) complex-catalysed indirect electroreduction of N-allylic and N-propargyl-α-bromo amides and o-bromoacryloylanilides gave the corresponding 5-membered lactams. The product distribution was affected by the ability of the solvent to donate hydrogen atom. The electroreduction of N-allyl-N(bromoacetyl)toluene-p-sulfonamide 1a in DMF and acetonitrile yielded as main product the 4-methylpyrrolidinone 2a(41%) and the 4-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidinone 3a(33%), respectively. On addition of 2 mol equiv. of a hydrogen-atom donor (Ph2PH) to the reaction of bromo amide 1a in acetonitrile, compound 1a provided compound 2a(58%) as the sole cyclised product.
