Fluorine compounds are known for their abundance in more than 20% of pharmaceutical
and agrochemical products mainly due to the enhanced lipophilicity, metabolic stability and …

1.2 Background Radical polymerization is of enormous industrial importance; approximately
50% of all commercial polymers are produced by radical polymerization.(23) The process is …

The introduction of a trifluoromethyl (CF3) group can dramatically improve a compound's
biological properties. Despite the well-established importance of trifluoromethylated …

Herein we disclose an efficient method for the conversion of carboxylic acids to
trifluoromethyl groups via the combination of photoredox and copper catalysis. This …

The catalytic union of amides, sulfonamides, anilines, imines, or N-heterocycles with a broad
spectrum of electronically and sterically diverse alkyl bromides has been achieved via a …

Copper oxidative addition into organohalides is a challenging two-electron process. In
contrast, formal oxidative addition of copper to Csp2 carbon–bromine bonds can be …

Herein, we report a Cu‐mediated trifluoromethylation of carbonyl‐type compounds and
unactivated olefins enabled by visible‐light irradiation via σ C (sp3)− C bond …

A thermodynamic analysis of the Fenton reactionand the “Fenton-like” reactions points out
that their detailed mechanisms involve the formationof a transient complex between the low …

Abstract Carbon–heteroatom (C–X) cross-coupling is a common method for bond-forming
reactions in chemistry but the more electronegative the heteroatom X is, the more …

Colloidal copper particles (20− 100 nm) are formed in the γ-irradiation of aqueous solutions
of KCu (CN) 2, which also contain methanol or 2-propanol as OH scavenger. The radiation …
