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 …

The C–C bond located at the β-position of an alkoxy radical readily breaks to form an alkyl
radical along with a carbonyl compound. Such processes are called β-scission or β …

We report an alkoxy radical process for the C–C bond cleavage and functionalization of
unstrained tertiary and secondary cyclic alcohols. In the absence of a chlorine atom, the …

Chromium oxidation, well known and widely explored in organic chemistry since the very
beginning of this science, is a topic of current interest for the organic chemist as evidenced …

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 …

A critical review of the relevance of in vitro chemical studies to Cr-induced cancers is given.
In particular, the nature of the most likely reductants, the species that stabilise intermediates …

Convenient procedures have been developed to convert secondary alcohols into ketones in
excellent yield and high epimeric purity utilizing oxidation of the alcohol in diethyl ether with …
