The tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-promoted sequential carboxamidation and aromatisation of isonitriles with formamides was developed. This procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methyl, fluoro, chloro, acetyl, methoxy carbonyl and cyano. This reaction involved the addition of formamide radicals to isonitriles and sequential C-C bond formation by intramolecular aromatic cyc...

Reactions of imidazoliums with palladacycles afforded NHC-palladacycle complexes. The reactivity of the NHC-palladacycles was explored and the results demonstrated that they could be template-directed ortho-aromatic metaloxylated in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), affording (NHC)Pd(salicylaldimine)Cl complexes. Furthermore, the NHC-palladacycles showed efficient catalytic activ...

Background: One of the major factors affecting on male infertility is oxidative stress (OS). Two main sources of ROS production are leukocytes and spermatozoa. The ROS such as tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) may damage and fragmentate to sperm DNA, which can lead to complications in the offspring. In this study, we will investigate the effect of od on DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in sperm ...

Cu-catalyzed oxidative Povarov reactions between N,N-dialkylanilines and saturated oxa- or thiacycles with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) are described; notably, the reactions use neither [4π] nor [2π]-motifs as the initial reagents. The use of cheap alkane-based substances as building units is of mechanistic and practical interest as two inert sp(3) C-H bonds are activated.

An efficient CuBr catalyzed cleavage of C-N bonds in the oxidative cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) of N-benzyl amines with indoles mediated by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) was reported. A series of methine-bridged bis-indole derivatives were successfully synthesized under the optimized reaction conditions.

An interesting and convenient procedure for the oxidative transformation of acetophenones and carbinols to primary benzamides has been developed. By using tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) as the catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, the desired benzamides were isolated in moderate to good yields in aqueous solution. Notably, not only acetophenones but also propiophenon...

Alcohols and alkenes are the most abundant and commonly used organic building blocks in the large-scale chemical synthesis. Herein, this is the first time to report a novel and operationally simple coupling reaction of vinylarenes and aliphatic alcohols catalyzed by manganese in the presence of TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide). This coupling reaction provides the oxyalkylated products of vinylar...

Mitochondria as an energy generating cell device are very sensitive to oxidative damage. Our previous findings obtained in hepatocytes demonstrated that Complex I of the respiratory chain is more sensitive to oxidative damage than other respiratory chain complexes. We present additional data on isolated mitochondria showing that palmityl carnitine oxidation is strongly depressed at a low (200 m...

A protocol based on [Ru(Me3tacn)(CF3CO2)2(H2O)]CF3CO2 (1, Me3tacn = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7triazacyclononane) as catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant was developed for oxidation of anisoles to p-benzoquinone monoketals. This reaction can be formally considered as regioselective aromatic C-H oxidation. With 2-methoxyanisole as substrate, 3,4-dimethoxy-4-tert-butoxy-2,5-cyclohexa...

The tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) promoted sequential silylation and aromatisation of isonitriles was developed, where the silyl group was regioselectively installed at the 6-position of phenanthridines. This procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as fluoro, chloro, acetyl, methoxy carbonyl, cyano and trifluoromethyl. The addition of a silyl radical to the isonitrile followed...
