Abstract

Abstract : The oxidative ring-opening of cyclic ethers using oxoammonium cations is investigated using experimental and computational methods. Abstract : The propensity of oxoammonium cations to facilitate the oxidative ring-opening of cyclic ethers to their corresponding distal hydroxy ketones is investigated. The reaction has been evaluated using experimental and computational methods to gain deeper insight into trends in reactivity.
