Reactions with tert-butyl chromate, 16 chromium trioxide-pyridine complex, 17 and tert-butyl perbenzoate with copper (1) bromidels were chosen for detailed study. Each reagent was carefully evaluated by using different solvents and reaction conditions. With oxidation of olefin 4 by tert-butyl chromate in carbon ...
