The available mechanisms to achieve nucleophilic substitution vary greatly, depending on
the substrate, the nucleophile, and the reaction conditions. In the aliphatic family the …

The formation of organofullerenes of the type R2C60 and R (R ') C60 from C602-and alkyl
halides (RX or R 'X) in benzonitrile was mechanistically investigated for 15 different alkyl …

The electron transfer (ET) to a series of para-substituted diaryl disulfides, having the general
formula (X− C6H4S−) 2, has been studied. The X groups were selected as to have a …

A simple kinetic method based on competition kinetics is presented for the measurement of
cleavage rate constants of radical anions over the range of 107− 5× 109 s− 1 in aprotic …

Aliphatic nucleophilic substitution is one of the most investigated reactions in organic
chemistry. In text-books on organic chemistry, mechanisms are described for this reaction …

Most organic bond‐forming reactions can be described as nucleophile–electrophile
combinations. For many of these reactions there have been discussions as to whether the …

Molecular dynamics has been used to investigate the reaction of a series of ketyl anion
radicals and alkyl halides, CH2O•-+ CH3X (X= F, Cl, Br) and NCCHO•-+ CH3Cl. In addition …

The electron transfer to peresters was studied by electrochemical means in N, N-
dimethylformamide. The reduction was carried out by three independent methods:(i) …

Anion radicals of aromatic compounds react with alkyl halides by dissociative electron
transfer; the radicals thus formed may either couple with the anion radicals or may be …

The voltammetric reduction of a series of phenyl-substituted 4-benzoyloxy-1-
methylcyclohexyl bromides has been investigated in DMF. The reduction leads to the …
