The positions allylic to double bonds are especially susceptible to oxidation. |
Deshpande developed polymers with allylic or benzylic amide groups covalently bonded to the polymer molecules. |
Alkenes in general are known to undergo addition reactions at lower temperatures and allylic substitution at higher temperatures. |
An example that Blackmond often uses is the asymmetric hydrogenation of the allylic alcohols geraniol and its isomers carried out while she was at Merck. |
Many different allylic pyrophosphates are effective initiators, but FPP seems to be the one primarily used in vivo. |
In complementary experiments, CHD and CHDCA were used as models for LA as they also have double allylic systems. |
