A mild and efficient method for the oxidative coupling of thiols by trimethylammonium fluorochromate(TriMFC) in solution is reported. Trimethylammonium fluorochromate is efficient and new reagent, whichprepares easily and oxidizes thiols to the corresponding disulfides quickly. The reactions perform cleanly andcontrolled to stop at the disulfide stage without over-oxidation side products.

Reactions of neutral cobalt oxide clusters (Co(m)O(n), m = 3-9, n = 3-13) with CO, NO, C(2)H(2), and C(2)H(4) in a fast flow reactor are investigated by time of flight mass spectrometry employing 118 nm (10.5 eV) single photon ionization. Strong cluster size dependent behavior is observed for all the oxidation reactions; the Co(3)O(4) cluster has the highest reactivity for reactions with CO and...

Metal-superoxo species are involved in a variety of enzymatic oxidation reactions, and multi-electron oxidation of substrates is frequently observed in those enzymatic reactions. A CrIII -superoxo complex, [CrIII (O2 )(TMC)(Cl)]+ (1; TMC=1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), is described that acts as a novel three-electron oxidant in the oxidation of dihydronicotinamide adeni...

Calculations of alternative oxidation pathways of toluene and its ortho-substituted nitro derivatives by permanganate anion have been performed. The competition between methyl group and ring oxidation has been addressed. Acceptable results have been obtained using IEFPCM/B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) calculations with zero-point (ZPC) and thermal corrections, as validated by comparison with the experimenta...

Norcarane, bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane, has been widely used as a mechanistic probe in studies of oxidations catalyzed by several iron-containing enzymes. We report here that, in addition to oxygenated products, norcarane is also oxidized by iron-containing enzymes in desaturase reactions that give 2-norcarene and 3-norcarene. Furthermore, secondary products from further oxidation reactions of the no...

Nanomagnetic MgFe2O4 is an active, stable, and reusable catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols. The oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols has been examined and related corresponding products were obtained in good yields. The reactions were carried out in the presence of water as solvent and oxone (at room temperature) or H2O2 (at 60 ºC) as an oxidant. The catalyst was investigated...
