Abstract

CH3CH2CH (Ph) COOH 65% CH3CH2CH (Ph) C03H 60% normal workup, purification, and storage. In all cases, acidic hydrolysis affords the desired hydroperoxides in good overall yield and with excellent purity. Displacement of secondary bromides or iodides proved more troublesome. Our standard conditions resulted in capricious yields while attempted displacements of mesylates, nosylates, or triflabs were unsuccessful. The reduced yield of ...
