Specific features of alkylation of organic hydroperoxides with chlorinated hydrocarbons in superbasic media

Alkylation of organic hydroperoxides with chlorinated hydrocarbons in superbasic media (dipolar nonhydroxyl solvent-strong ionic base) was performed.

Mild conditions synthesis of mixed organic peroxides from alkyl halides and organic hydroperoxides

The synthesis of mixed organic peroxides by reaction of alkyl halides with tertiary hydroperoxides under basic phase-transfer catalysis conditions was described.

Laser flash photolysis studies on the first superoxide thermal source. First direct measurements of the rates of solvent-assisted 1,2-hydrogen atom shifts and a proposed new mechanism for this unusual rearrangement

The thermal decomposition of bis(4-carboxybenzyl)hyponitrite (SOTS-1) in aerated water under physiological conditions has previously been shown to give the superoxide radical anion in a yield of 40 mol % (Ingold, K. U.; et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 12364). The absolute kinetics of the elementary reactions involved in the cascade of events leading from the first-formed water-soluble benzyloxyl radical to superoxide have been determined by laser flash photolysis. On the basis of these kinetics it is concluded that SOTS-1 will be suitable for studies of superoxide-induced oxidative stress in most biological systems. A water-assisted 1,2-H shift converting benzyloxyl into the benzyl ketyl radical is an important step in the above reaction cascade. The kinetics of the 1,2-H shift assisted by H2O, D2O, and a number of nucleophilic alcohols have been measured for the first time. These data have led to a proposed new mechanism involving the initial formation of a ketyl radical anion and an oxonium cation which generally collapse to give the neutral ketyl radical as the first observable product on the time scale of our experiments (ca. 80 ns).

Catalytic selective oxidation of alkyl arenes to aryl tert. butyl peroxides with TBHP over Ru-exchanged Montmorillonite K10

A mild and efficient catalytic method for the benzylic oxidation of alkyl arenes to the corresponding tert. butyl aryl peroxides is described using a catalytic amount of reusable solid, Ru(III)-exchanged Montmorillonite K10 and 70% tert. butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant.

Hydroperoxides as Pseudohalides: Oxidation, Oxidative Alkylation, Acylation and Arylation of Acrylonitrile

New general syntheses, based on free-radical oxidative alkylation, acylation and arylation of acrylonitrile, in the presence of ButO2H, are reported; the concept of the peroxy group as a pseudohalide is suggested to explain these new reactions.

New Syntheses of Mixed Peroxides under Gif-Barton Oxidation of Alkylbenzenes, Conjugated Alkenes and Alkanes; a Free-radical Mechanism

Syntheses of mixed peroxides are performed under Gif oxidation of alkylaromatics, electron-rich conjugated alkenes (styrene, α-methylstyrene) or cyclohexane and acrylonitrile; chemical and kinetic evidence support a free-radical redox chain mechanism.

An Easy Access to Unsymmetrical Peroxides

Unsymmetrical peroxides could be prepared easily by reaction of alkyl hydroperoxides with primary and secondary alkyl bromides and methanesulfonates in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of potassium hydroxide and polyethyleneglycol 400.
