Ab initio study of oxygen atom transfer from hydrogen peroxide to trimethylamineElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: transition state structures and experimental data. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/cc/b1/b104902j/
Abstract
Unlike what has been theoretically proposed for ammonia oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, trimethylamine oxidation occurs with a concerted mechanism, which is favored even when an explicit water molecule is added or continuum solvent (water) is simulated.
