The cumene/O(2) system: a very simple tool for the radical chain oxidation of some functional groups
Due to the relative stability of the cumyl radical, cumenes and α-methyl-styrenes are ideally structured to directly harvest the oxidizing reactivity of O(2) and initiate radical chain reactions in catalyst-free conditions. In the absence of additional substrates, these processes can lead to acetoph...

| Sumario: | Due to the relative stability of the cumyl radical, cumenes and α-methyl-styrenes are ideally structured to directly harvest the oxidizing reactivity of O(2) and initiate radical chain reactions in catalyst-free conditions. In the absence of additional substrates, these processes can lead to acetophenones. In the presence of substrates, the cumene oxidation process can be intercepted in various chain reactions, affording very simple protocols for functional group oxidation. |
