Chemists have long wanted to find better ways to achieve anti-Markovnikov selectivity in alkene oxidations — for example, to convert the aldehyde products to linear alcohols, which are commonly used in flavorings, perfumes, lubricants, and cosmetics. (cen.acs.org)
The researchers showed that quantum mechanical tunneling greatly enhances the production rate of hydroxyl radicals in alkene ozonolysis reactions, which sever multiple bonds under atmospheric conditions. (sciencedaily.com)
