@article{10272/15974, year = {2018}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10272/15974}, abstract = {We report quantitative measurements of the relative reactivities of a series of C-H bonds of gaseous or liquid CnH2n+2 alkanes (n = 1-8, 29 different C-H bonds) towards insitu generated electrophiles (copper, silver, and rhodium carbenes), with methane as the reference. This strategy surpasses the drawback of previous model reactions of alkanes with strong electrophiles suffering from C-C cleavage processes, which precluded direct comparison of the relative reactivities of alkane C-H bonds.}, organization = {We thank MINECO for support with Grants CTQ2014-52769-C03-01, CTQ2014-52769-C03-02, CTQ2017-82893-C2-1-R, CTQ2014-62234-EXP, CTQ2015-73693-JIN, CTQ2017-87792-R, Severo Ochoa Excellence Accreditation 2014-2018 (SEV-2013-0319), and Red Intecat (CTQ2016-81923-REDC).
