A novel and direct synthesis of hydroperoxy compounds from various types of conjugated olefins was established via cobalt (II) porphyrin-catalyzed hydroperoxygenation. The reaction of α, β, γ, δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, acrylic esters, α-substituted acrylic esters and styrene derivatives with molecular oxygen and triethylsilane in the presence of a catalytic amount of cobalt (II) porphyrin proceeded rapidly to give the corresponding ...
