2-(1-Hydroperoxyalkyl)-furans and 6-hydroperoxy-2H-pyran-3(6H)-ones are alternatively accessible by acid-catalyzed oxidation of 2-furyl alcohols with hydrogen peroxide under appropriate conditions. Representative compounds of both classes of hydroperoxides have been used, as easily renewable oxygen donors, in asymmetric sulfoxidation reactions.

Acid-catalyzed oxidation of 2-furylcarbinols with hydrogen peroxide affords alternatively 2-(1-hydroperoxyalkyl)-furans 2 or 6-hydroperoxy-2H-pyran-3(6H)-ones 3. Compounds of the type 2 and 3 have been used as oxygen donors in efficient stoichiometric or catalytic procedures for the asymmetric sulfoxidation of prochiral sulfides in the presence of Ti(O-i-Pr)4/L-DET or Ti(O-i-Pr)4/(R)-BINOL/H2O systems. Positive non linear effects, (+)-NLE, were observed in the enantioselective oxidation of methyl p-tolyl sulfide, promoted by enantiomerically enriched Ti(IV)/BINOL/H2O complexes.
