Novel method for the preparation of triethylsilyl peroxides from olefins by the reaction with molecular oxygen and triethylsilane catalyzed by bis (1, 3-diketonato) cobalt …
In the presence of a catalytic amount of bis (1, 3-diketonato) cobalt (II), various olefins react with molecular oxygen and triethylsilane at room temperature to give the corresponding triethylsilyl peroxides in high yields under neutral conditions. The reaction provides a new method for the preparation of various peroxides directly from olefins.
