EFFICIENCY OF THE INSTITUTION OF INDEPENDENT ANTI-CORRUPTION EXPERTISE OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS AND THEIR DRAFTS by R. O. Dolotov

“…No. 4Results: the main problems are revealed associated with low efficiency of the institution of independent anti-corruption expertise; compre- hensive proposals are developed for improving its effectiveness; in particular, it is proposed to establish administrative responsibility for failure to give (ignoring) a reasoned answer to the conclusions submitted by independent experts; to stipulate additional requirements for applicants (natural persons) for obtaining the status of an independent expert (other than those currently stipulated: higher professional education and work experience in the specialty not less than 5 years); when developing the next National plan for corruption counteraction in Russia, to include instructions to the Russian Ministry of Justice on the organization of monitoring of the accredited independent experts efficiency, as well as on preparing and periodi- cally publishing the e-Bulletin, dedicated to independent anti-corruption examination; it is necessary to stipulate liability (in the form of depriva- tion of the independent expert status) for deliberately false anti-corruption expertise, and for anti-corruption examination in the case of lobbying.Scientific novelty: it is concluded that the key directions to increase the efficiency of independent anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and their drafts are: a more detailed regulation of the status of the independent expert and the interaction of developers of normative legal acts with independent experts, including the regulation of procedures of monitoring of independent experts’ functioning.Practical significance: implementation of the proposals will enhance the work of civil society representatives accredited as independent experts.…”

A Comprehensive Review of Radical-Mediated Intramolecular Cyano-Group Migration by Jia-Liang Zhu, Mei-Lin Chen

“…The radical-mediated intramolecular translocation of cyano groups has been recognized as a useful tool for the site-selective functionalization of organic molecules. The process is believed to proceed through the addition of an in situ-generated carbon-centered radical to the nitrile triple bond, followed by the β-scission of the resulting cyclic iminyl radical intermediate to relocate the cyano group and produce a more stable carbon radical for further elaboration. …”
