Investigations of the Chemistry of 1-Alkynyltriazenes

Florian Gérald Abela

The chemistry of aromatic triazenes is well known, and has been explored for more than a century. These compounds have emerged as very useful intermediates, because of their unique reactivity. This functionality can notably be used to access many other fun ...

Oxaliplatin reacts with DMSO only in the presence of water

Paul Joseph Dyson, Laure Menin, Hristo Plamenov Varbanov

Herein we show that oxaliplatin reacts rapidly with DMSO in aqueous solutions, despite being stable in pure DMSO and pure water. Furthermore, the reactivity of the clinically applied Pt(II) drugs in water/DMSO and PBS/DMSO mixtures, and the nature of the s ...

Why are sec-alkylperoxyl bimolecular self-reactions orders of magnitude faster than the analogous reactions of tert-alkylperoxyls? The unanticipated role of CH hydrogen bond donation

Ganna Gryn'ova

High-level ab initio calculations are used to identify the mechanism of secondary (and primary) alkylperoxyl radical termination and explain why their reactions are much faster than their tertiary counterparts. Contrary to existing literature, the decompos ...
