Rasching process

The Journal fur Gasbeleuchtung mentions electrolytic corrosion damage caused by direct current cables in Berlin in 1892, and a few years later damage by tramway currents was reported in 14 German towns. As early as 1894 the electrolytic processes of stray current corrosion were explained in detail in this Journal by G.Rasch [65]. 

Bromides are less reactive than the corresponding iodides in atom transfer processes. However, activated bromides such as diethyl bromomalonate [36] and bromomalonitrile [53] react with olefins under Et3B/02 initiation. Kha-rasch type reactions of bromotrichloromethane with alkenes are also initiated by Et3B/02 [41]. On the other hand, a remarkable Lewis acid effect was reported by Porter. Atom-transfer reactions of an a-bromooxazolidinone amide with alkenes are strongly favored in the presence of Lewis acids such as Sc(0Tf)3 or Yb(0Tf)3, this reaction was successively applied to the...

Several experts kindly provided assistance with the compilation of Tables 6 and 7. Useful tips and ideas were supplied by Prof. J. Heinrich, Professors A. Roosen and P. Greil, Dr. W. Schiller and Prof. R. Telle. The entire work process from design to final editing was accompanied by valuable discussion contributions from Prof. J. Kriegesmann and Prof. H. Rasch. The author expresses his sincere thanks to aU those named.
