The decomposition, in dichloromethane, of β- and γ-unsaturated peroxides derived from pinane leads to transient tertiary pinanyl adduct radicals.The evolution of the reaction depends on the position of the insaturation.An intramolecular homolytic substitution gives functional pinanic epoxides in the first case; a β-scission followed by a hydrogen transfer yields functional p-menthenic peroxides in the second case.
