Synthesis of geminal bisperoxides by acid-catalyzed reaction of acetals and enol ethers with tert-butyl hydroperoxide

Abstract: A new efficient procedure was developed for the synthesis of geminal bisperoxides by reaction of ketals and enol ethers with tert-butyl hydroperoxide catalyzed by protic or Lewis acids.

A new oxidation process. Transformation of gem -bishydroperoxides into esters

Abstract: A new oxidation process has been found where α,ω-dicarboxylic acid esters and ω-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters are formed on heating gem-bishydroperoxides in alcohol in the presence of BF3·Et2O. By addition of H2O2 to this reaction α,ω-dicarboxylic acid esters are formed almost selectively.

Synthesis of peroxide compounds by the BF3-catalyzed reaction of acetals and enol ethers with H2O2

Abstract: Aliphatic and alicyclic gem-bis-hydroperoxides and their derivatives, bis(1-hydroperoxycycloalkyl) and bis(1-hydroperoxyalkyl) peroxides, dispiro- and tetraalkyl-1,2,4,5-tetroxanes were synthesized by the reaction of aliphatic and alicyclic acetals and enol ethers with H2O2 in the presence of BF3 in anhydrous Et2O.

New Preparation of 1,2,4,5-Tetraoxanes

Abstract: A convenient procedure was developed for the synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes based on the reaction of gem-bishydroperoxycycloalkanes with ketals and acetals catalyzed by boron trifluoride etherate, which makes it possible to prepare the target products in yields from 13 to 93%.

Emerging catalytic processes for the production of adipic acid

Abstract: Research efforts to find more sustainable pathways for the synthesis of adipic acid have led to the introduction of new catalytic processes for producing this commodity chemical from alternative resources. With a focus on the performance of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide as preferred oxidants, this minireview summarizes recent advances made in the selective oxidation of cyclohexene, cyclohexane, cyclohexanone and n-hexane to adipic acid. Special attention is paid to the exploration of catalytic pathways involving lignocellulosic biomass-derived chemicals such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, D-glucose, γ-valerolactone and compounds representative of lignin and lignin-derived bio-oils.

Rearrangements of organic peroxides and related processes

Abstract: This review is the first to collate and summarize main data on named and unnamed rearrangement reactions of peroxides. It should be noted, that in the chemistry of peroxides two types of processes are considered under the term rearrangements. These are conventional rearrangements occurring with the retention of the molecular weight and transformations of one of the peroxide moieties after O-O-bond cleavage. Detailed information about the Baeyer-Villiger, Criegee, Hock, Kornblum-DeLaMare, Dakin, Elbs, Schenck, Smith, Wieland, and Story reactions is given. Unnamed rearrangements of organic peroxides and related processes are also analyzed. The rearrangements and related processes of important natural and synthetic peroxides are discussed separately.

Triflic Acid‐Functionalized Silica‐Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles as a Magnetically Separable Catalyst for Synthesis of gem‐Dihydroperoxides

Abstract: Triflic acid-functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles [γ-Fe2O3@SiO2-TfOH] were readily prepared and identified as an effictive catalyst for the transformation of aldehydes or ketones into their corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides with 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide. The catalyst was easily separated by magnetic decantation and the recovered catalyst was reused for seven cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity.
