Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 20(5), 1168-1175 (2013-03-30)
This work investigated the ultrasonic assisted oxidative desulfurization of bunker-C oil with TBHP/MoO3 system. The operational parameters for the desulfurization procedure such as ultrasonic irradiation time, ultrasonic wave amplitude, catalyst initial concentration and oxidation agent initial concentration were studied.

A general mechanism is proposed for transition metal-catalyzed oxidative Mannich reactions of N,N-dialkylanilines with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant. The mechanism consists of a rate-determining single electron transfer (SET) that is uniform from 4-methoxy- to 4-cyano-N,N-dimethylanilines. The tert-butylperoxy radical

Nature protocols, 8(4), 749-754 (2013-03-23)
This protocol describes a new approach for the preparation of stereodefined trisubstituted chiral enolate species, avoiding conventional asymmetric enolization of carbonyl compounds. This protocol was developed as a single-flask synthetic sequence and therefore does not require isolation or purification of
Qicai Xue et al.
Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 49(35), 3700-3702 (2013-03-29)
A new synthetic approach toward direct C-N bond formation through sp(3) C-H activation has been developed under metal-free conditions. Both primary and secondary benzylic C-H substrates could react smoothly with various amines to give only mono-amination products with good to
