A green and efficient organic–aqueous two-phase reaction route for the synthesis of tert-butyl peresters by KI-catalyzed C–H oxidation of methyl arenes in a microfluidic chip reactor has been developed. Moreover, a series of tert-butyl perester products were obtained in moderate to good yields under metal-free conditions. A scale-up continuous flow system was constructed to verify the application of

A new tert-butyl peresterssynthesis directly from aldehydes and TBHP was developed via Bu(4)NI-catalyzed aldehyde C-H oxidation. Mechanistic studies suggest that the protocol proceeds via a radical process. Combining the method with the Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction offers a practical approach for the synthesis of allylic esters from simple aldehydes and alkenes via a two-step one-pot procedure.
