Reaction of alkyl hydroperoxides (1ary, 2ary or 3ary) upon tertiary alkyl trichloroacetimidates under acidic catalysis yielded unsymetrical dialkyl peroxides with yields in the range 30-70%.
Réaction compétitive de la substitution homolytique intramoléculaire : décomposition de pero×ydes allyliques dans le thioglycolate de méthyle
The decomposition of allylic peroxides in methyl thioglycolate always leads to both epoxide and adduct peroxide. According to the nature of the allylic chain, either epoxide or peroxide is the predominant product, if not the only one. It is the first example where the hydrogen transfer is as fast as the intramolecular homolytic substitution. The influence of different factors upon the competition is studied.
