Quaternary ammonium salts were used as ethylene source for the direct ethylation of benzylic amines.

The alkylation takes place under rhodium catalysis, requiring inert atmosphere, with exclusive selectivity for the C(sp3)-H bond.
Government urged to allow smaller batteries on to grid
Once again, it is meaningless to talk about a 1 MW battery (instantaneous power output) without also giving its storage capacity in MW-h i.e. how long...
