Hello chempros,

Part of this publication was on today's chemdle. Thoughts on the electrons moving onto nitrogen to give a positive charge from [D --> E] in the proposed mechanism?

Would formation of a diol or 3,3 substituted intermediate like XX be feasible? I haven't worked with oxone before.

Thanks!
