Oxidation of benzyl alcohols by dimethyldioxirane. The question of concerted versus stepwise mechanisms probed by kinetic isotope effects
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The primary and β-secondary kinetic isotope effects in the oxidation of secondary alcohols with dimethyl dioxirane were measured. The substantial primary and the absence of a β-secondary kinetic isotope effect support a concerted mechanism for the title reaction.
