- Alkenoyl and functionalized alkanoyl dodecanoyl peroxides are prepared in 70 to 97 percent yield and photolyzed at -78 deg C.Thereby 4- to 10-alkenoyl and 4-alkynoyl peroxides afford good yields (56 - 68 percent) of unsymmetrical coupling products.Similarly α- to δ-haloalkanoyl, cholanoyl or 3- and 4-carboxyalkanoyl peroxides can be coupled (40 - 70 percent).The α-chiral diacyl peroxide 1s undergoes the photochemical coupling reaction with 80 percent retention of its configuration.The photolysis of diacyl peroxides at -78 deg C proves to be a favorable supplement of the Kolbe-electrolysis in cases, where the electrolysis fails or produces low yields.
