A new C(sp3)?H functionalization reaction consisting of the oxidative ?-allylation allyl- and benzyl- methyl ethers has been developed. The C?C coupling could be carried out under mild conditions thanks to use cheap green oxoammonium salts. scope was studied over 27 examples, considering nature substituents on two partners.

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between organoboron compounds and organic halides or triflates provides a powerful and general methodology for the formation of carbon–carbon bonds. Recently, this reaction has been called the Suzuki coupling, Suzuki reaction, or Suzuki–Miyaura coupling, although we never referred to it as such previously. In this review, this name will be used wi...

In stopped-flow experiments in which oxidized cytochrome c oxidase was mixed with ferrocytochrome c in the presence of a range of oxygen concentrations and in the absence and presence of cyanide, a fast phase, reflecting a rapid approach to an equilibrium, was observed. Within this phase, one or two molecules of ferrocytochrome were oxidized per haem group of cytochrome a, depending on the conc...

Elucidating the structures of intermediates in the reduction of O2 to water by cytochrome c oxidase is crucial to understanding both oxygen activation and proton pumping by the enzyme. In the work here, the reaction of O2 with the mixed-valence enzyme, in which only heme a3 and CuB in the binuclear center are reduced, has been followed by time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. The results ...
