Kinetic and Spectroscopic Investigation of Structural Influences on Hydrogen-atom Transfer Reactivity of N5-Ligated Oxomanganese(IV) Complexes
… manganese-oxo intermediates perform important hydrogenatom transfer (HAT) reactions in both biological and synthetic systems. There has been extensive characterization of HAT reactivity of enzymatic and synthetic oxoiron(IV) species, and these complexes have been shown to cleave a wide range of …

Permanganate oxidations of aromatic hydrocarbons in aqueous and organic solution
… reaction that appears to form a charge transfer complex. All of the data are consistent with rate limiting hydrogen atom transfer from the substrate to an oxo group of permanganate. The enthalpies of activation for the various substrates are shown to be directly proportional to the …

Quantum Mechanical/molecular Mechanical Studies of F(1)-Atpase and a Plant Photoreceptor
… proceed via a neutral radical state generated by hydrogen atom transfer from the reactive cysteine residue, C57, to the chromophore flavin mononucleotide. Interestingly, we find that adduct formation does not cause any larger scale conformational changes in Phot-LOV1 which suggests that dynamical …

Partnering Photochemical Protocols With Anion Relay Chemistry: Application In The Total Synthesis Of Natural Products
… or dioxolanyl radicals via [1,5]- or [1,6]-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). This radical relay tactic enables remote C(sp3)-H functionalization to access synthetically challenging 1,4,7-polyol and spiroketal segments, and in turn, has been exploited as the key synthetic transformation in the …

METAL-FREE SELECTIVE SP3 C-H IMINATION AND COVALENT POSTSYNTHETIC MODIFICATION OF POLYSTYRENE BY DIRECT C-H AMINATION
… C-H imination. Our approach involves a unique hydrogen-atom transfer/radical addition mechanism, which differs from the more established Hoffman-Löffler-Freytag amination. From there, we have successfully transferred this method from small molecules to macromolecules, as the amino functional …

Utilising Non-Covalent Interactions in Developing Enantioselective Radical Transformations
… phosphoric acids, bound to the substrate via hydrogen bonding, could induce asymmetry. The subsequent approach relied on using an anionic ligand, ion-paired to a chiral cation derived from cinchona alkaloids, to create a chiral environment around the metal centre. The challenges encountered …
