The hydroboration of alkenes of diverse structural types by assorted N-heterocyclic carbene boranes can be accomplished by addition of 5-10% diiodine. For example, reaction of 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane (diMe-Imd-BH3) with 10% I2 followed by addition of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene provided the corresponding thexyl

In order to investigate the heterogeneous oxidation kinetics of the herbicide terbuthylazine (TERB), a stable and reproducible generation system of "dark" hydroxyl radical in the gas phase was developed and optimized using a PTR-MS. TERB was adsorbed on silica particles

We present a novel method for continuous, stable OH radical production for use in smog chamber studies, especially those focused on organic aerosol aging. Our source produces OH radicals from the reaction of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene and ozone and is unique as

1. During anaerobic reductive incubation of liver microsomes, from either the pyridine- or phenobarbital-treated rat, with 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) in the presence of a NADPH-regenerating system, a time- and dose-dependent formation of reactive metabolites was detected as indicated by a depletion

The mechanism of photocycloaddition of 2'-deoxyuridine (1a) and thymidine (1b) to 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (Bu) in acetonitrile by UV irradiation has been studied. The reciprocal quantum yield for the cycloaddition increased linearly with reciprocal concentrations of Bu in acetonitrile to give limiting
