In the presence of a catalytic amount of radical initiator AIBN, primary amines are oxidatively coupled to imines and tertiary amines are cyanated to α-aminonitriles. These "metal-free" aerobic oxidative coupling reactions may find applications in a wide range of "green"

We have developed new urethane acrylate-based root canal sealers using polycarbonate (PC) as polyol and 2,2-azobis(2-methyl)butyronitrile (AMBN) as a thermal initiator. The purpose of this study was to compare the properties among a group of seven sealers: (1) polybutyleneadipate (PBA)
