Peroxide-containing compounds are an attractive synthetic target, given their widespread
abundance in nature, with many displaying potent antimalarial and antimicrobial properties …

Organic peroxides are an important class of compounds for organic synthesis,
pharmacological chemistry, materials science, and the polymer industry. Here, for the first …

The first systematic study of the intramolecular α-effect, both in the stable ground-state
structures and in the high-energy intermediates, was accomplished using the anomeric …

Reactions of 1, 5-diketones with H2O2 open an ozone-free approach to ozonides. Bridged
ozonides are formed readily at room temperature in the presence of strong Brønsted or …

Synthetic ozonides and tetraoxanes were shown to have high cytotoxicity in vitro when
tested on androgen-independent prostate cancer cell lines DU145 and PC3, which is in …

We describe an efficient one-pot procedure that “folds” acyclic triketones into structurally
complex, pharmaceutically relevant tricyclic systems that combine high oxygen content with …

The lanthanide-catalyzed oxidative C–O coupling of 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds with diacyl
peroxides, specifically the cyclic malonyl peroxides, has been developed. An important …

Silica sulfuric acid (SSA) was found to efficiently catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and
ketones directly into the corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides (DHPs) on treatment with …

The reaction of β, δ‐triketones with an ethereal solution of H2O2 catalyzed by heteropoly
acids in the presence of a polar aprotic co‐solvent proceeds via three pathways to form …

Heterogeneous reactions of β, δ-triketones with ethereal hydrogen peroxide in nonpolar
solvents, catalyzed by phosphomolybdic acid, afforded mixtures of stereoisomeric ozonides …
