1. The oxidation of p-dimethylaminomethylbenzylamine was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the change in E(250) caused by the p-dimethylaminomethylbenzaldehyde produced. 2. This reaction was inhibited by substrate analogues such as isothiouronium, guanidino, dimethylsulphonium and trimethylammonium compounds. 3. The inhibition by both mono- and bis-onium compounds has been studied an...

ABSTRACT A Ru-catalyzed mono-arylation in α-position of saturated cyclic amines is reported employing a C-H activation protocol. Substitution of the pyridine directing group with a bulky group, e.g., trifluoromethyl in the 3-position, proved to be crucial to avoid bis-arylation. This highly selective transformation can be performed with different amines and arylboronate esters. Additionally, th...

The efficacy of heterogeneous catalysis relies heavily on diffusion and distribution reactants within catalyst supports. However, the presence confinement, essential for reaction selectivity, drastically slows down molecular transport. Here, macro-mesoporous silica inverse opal (SiO2?IO) films were used as a model system to study rather unexplored infiltration behavior using probe molecule rese...
