New Strategy

A novel tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-promoted oxidative C=C double-bond cleavage of enamines is described. Heating a solution of an electron-deficient enamine in chlorobenzene at 80 °C in the presence of TBHP for two hours led to cleavage of the C=C bond. This study offers a new strategy to carry out C=O double-bond formation by the use of TBHP.

Tert Butyl Hydroperoxide

A novel protocol to synthesize tert-butyl esters from benzyl cyanides and tert-butyl hydroperoxide has been successfully achieved. Csp3–H bond oxidation, C–CN bond cleavage and C–O bond formation proceeded smoothly in one pot under the metal-free condition.

We present a metal-free method for α-acetoxyarone synthesis by self-intermolecular oxidative coupling of aryl ketones using I2−tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Under the optimum conditions, various aryl ketones gave the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields. A series of control experiments were performed; the results suggest the involvement of radical pathways. Multiple radical intermediates were generated in situ and the overall process involved several different reactions, which proceeded self-sequentially in a single reactor. A labeling experiment using 18O-labeled H2O confirmed that the oxygen in the product was derived from TBHP, not from H2O in the TBHP solvent.
