Abstract The production of stable phenoxyl radicals is undoubtedly a synthetic chemical challenge. Yet it useful way to gain information on the properties biological tyrosyl radicals. Recently, several persistent have been reported, but only limited variations could be achieved. Herein, we show that amide– o ‐substituted radical (i.e. with salicylamide backbone) can synthesised in manner, thereby permitting easy modifications made through amide bond. To study effect H‐bonding...
Abstract The experimental conditions (solvent, base, temperature and oxidant) for allylic benzylic oxidation reactions catalyzed by dirhodium(II)/N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were optimized the first time in this work. oxidations of cyclohexene fluorene used as model reactions.

By way of a multidisciplinary approach, this article advances the idea that our listening to certain practices contemporary art music (electroacoustic, classical contemporary, and electronic music) relies on precise connections early stage perception. These styles are characterised by essential sound configurations evolve in time, thus eliciting sensorial impact which transcends features regarding sources affective responses. Listeners grasp what Scruton calls ‘pure events’ ‘world sound’,...

We report the oxidation of first line anti-HIV drug efavirenz (EFV), mediated by a bio-inspired nonheme Fe-complex. Depending upon experimental conditions this system can be tuned either to yield major EFV metabolite, 8-hydroxy-EFV, in enantiomerically pure form or mimic cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity, yielding 8-hydroxy-EFV and 7-hydroxy-EFV, two phenolic metabolites reported formed vivo. The successful anti-estrogen tamoxifen equine estrogen equilin into their CYP-mediated supports general...
