title: A combined computational and experimental investigation of the oxidative ring-opening of cyclic ethers by oxoammonium cations.
abstract: The propensity of oxoammonium cations to facilitate the oxidative ring-opening of cyclic ethers to their corresponding distal hydroxy ketones is investigated. The reaction has been evaluated using experimental and computational methods to gain deeper insight into trends in reactivity.
