OXIDATIVE TRITYLDEMERCURATION OF ORGANOMERCURY COMPOUNDS

In the reactions of Ph3CX (X=Cl, Br) with dialkylmercury compounds containing β-hydrogen atoms in the presence of oxygen the main result is determined by competition between two processes, i.e., β elimination (intermolecular hydride transfer) and oxidation with the formation of the peroxide Ph3COOAlk.By variation in the conditions of the reaction between dialkylmercury and triphenylbromomethane a method was found for the production of alkyl triphenylmethyl peroxides containing various primary and secondary alkyl radicals.The stereochemistry was investigated, and the mechanism of the formation of alkyl triphenylmethyl peroxides is discussed.
