Locally crystallized PCN is prone to form *OCCHO groups rather than *CH2O groups, regulating the endoergic C–C coupling step to a simultaneous exoergic reaction and changing the reaction pathway towards CH3CHO (selectivity of 98.3%) instead of HCHO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
