Fragmentation of chloroperoxides: hypochlorite-mediated dehydration of hydroperoxyacetals to esters
摘要:
Hypochlorites efficiently dehydrate hydroperoxyacetals to furnish the corresponding esters. The reaction, which can be accomplished with stoichometric Ca(OCl)(2) or with catalytic amounts of t-BuOCl, appears to involve formation and heterolytic fragmentation of secondary chloroperoxides, species not previously described in solution chemistry.
