Bis (heptafluorobutyry) peroxide reacted with electron-rich olefins to give the adducts of C3F7CO2 and C3F7 groups in good yields. The peroxide should be the useful reagent for the introduction of heptafluoropropyl moiety into olefins.
Reduction of n‐C5H11N3 by Na2S2O4 was performed in the presence of (n‐Bu4N)3 [Mo2Fe6S8(OMe)3(SC6H4‐p‐n‐C8H17)6] ((n‐Bu4N)3 [Mo‐Fe]) as a catalyst in aqueous Triton X‐100 micellar solutions. The rate of the reduction is enhanced efficiently by the addition of methyl viologen (MV2+). The methyl viologen radical cation (MV+) produced by the reaction of MV2+ with Na2S2O4 undergoes a disproportionation reaction to afford MV2+ and MV° in the micellar solution. The resultant MV° formed in the micelle transfers two electrons to [Mo‐Fe]3− effectively to give [Mo‐Fe]5−, which reduces n‐C5H11N3 with two electrons to produce n‐C5H11NH2 and N2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
