Microfluidic Synthesis of tert-Butyl Peresters via KI-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling of Methyl Arenes and tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide
A green and efficient organic-aqueous two-phase reaction route for the synthesis of tert-butyl peresters by KI-catalyzed C-H oxidation of methyl arenes in a microfluidic chip reactor has been developed. Moreover, a series of tert-butyl perester products were obtained in moderate to good yields under metal-free conditions. A scale-up continuous flow system was constructed to verify the application of this method.

Bu4NI-catalyzed construction of tert-butyl peresters from alcohols
A new method for the synthesis of tert-butyl peresters directly from available alcohols catalyzed by Bu4NI at room temperature in an aqueous system was developed. Additionally, allylic esters could also be obtained by combing this method and Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction via a two-step one-pot procedure.
