Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Blame it on the alcohol</bold>: Kinetic studies, in combination with theoretical calculations, support a mechanism in which the coordination of one alcohol molecule activates a Ti^IV pre‐catalyst (see scheme). The alcohol coordination has a twofold action: it switches the Ti^VI peroxo complex to an active geometry, and it stabilises the reactive peroxo intermediate through hydrogen bonding.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg26mfgts3" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
