Alkoxy radicals have long been recognized as powerful synthetic intermediates with well-
established reactivity patterns. Due to the high bond dissociation free energy of aliphatic …

Just as “Deconstructivism” appeared as a novel movement in architecture in the 1980s,
deconstructive approaches have recently emerged as excellent strategies for scaffold …

A regioselective synthesis of β-and γ-fluorinated ketones via silver-catalyzed ring opening is
described. A variety of β-and γ-fluorinated ketones are efficiently prepared, respectively …

A novel, manganese‐catalyzed oxidative azidation of cyclobutanols is described. A wide
range of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl azides were generated in synthetically useful …

2, 2′-Bipyridine-ligated copper complexes, in combination with TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-
tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl), are highly effective catalysts for aerobic alcohol oxidation …

Abstract A novel C− C bond‐forming strategy employing manganese‐catalyzed ring‐
opening of cyclobutanol substrates, followed by cyanation or ethynylation, is described. A …

Described herein is a novel, useful, visible light-promoted ring-opening functionalization of
unstrained cycloalkanols. Upon scission of an inert cyclic C–C σ-bond, a set of medium-and …

Oxidation of cyclobutanol by aqueous Fe (IV) generates cyclobutanone in∼ 70% yield. In
addition to this two-electron process, a smaller fraction of the reaction takes place by a one …

Transition metal complexes induce oxidative and reductive transformations, depending on
their oxidation state. When these redox processes are efficient, they lead to a variety of novel …

Cycloalkanols prove to be privileged precursors for the synthesis of distally substituted alkyl
ketones and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by virtue of cleavage of their cyclic C …
