Reactivity of other substrates

Zakrzewski and Giannotti demonstrated that the photoreduction of nitroxide radicals by Q4W10O32, equation (23), was 70-80% thermally reversible  

The experiments were conducted directly in the cavity of the EPR spectrometer [94]. Other reactions of note summarized in Table I include the decarboxylation of carboxylic acids ( 90% selectivity) [75, 88] the dehydrogenation of organonitriles, equation (24) [88], and the radical cross coupling observed when solutions of alkanes and ethers are simultaneously irradiated in the presence of Q4W10O32, equation (25) [75,90]. In equation 

Two reactions of note conducted under aerobic conditions are the oxidation of a bicyclic ether, 1,8-cineole, by Zakrzewski and Giannotti in equation (26) [53] and the oxidation by p-xylene by Attanasioera/.,
