A one-pot catalytic method has been developed for the stereoselective synthesis of cyclopropane-fused cyclic amidines using CuBr2/K2S2O8 as an efficient single electron transfer (SET) oxidative system. The generality of this...
A brief overview is presented on recent progress in mechanistic studies of formic acid oxidation, synthesis of novel Pd- and Pt-based nanocatalysts and their practical applications in direct formic acid fuel cells.
