Ketones and aldehydes undergo facile hydroperoxidation on treatment with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30%) in the presence of 10 mol% stannous chloride dihydrate in acetonitrile under very mild conditions to afford the corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides in satisfactory yields.

SrCl2·6H2O has been shown to act as an efficient catalyst for the conversion of aldehydes or ketones into the corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides (DHPs) by treatment with aqueous H2O2 (30%) in acetonitrile. The reactions proceed under mild and neutral conditions at room temperature to afford good to excellent yields of product.

Anatase and rutile are the two major crystalline phases of TiO 2. Heat treatment can change crystal structure and physical properties of TiO 2 nanoparticles. The effect of particles size on anatase-rutile phase transformation has been studied for the N-sulphonylation of amines and urazoles both under the conventional and ultrasound irradiation conditions. The main advantages allocated to this method are chemoselectivity, reduced reaction times, high yield, non-solvent green conditions and easy procedure. The catalyst can be easily recovered simply by filtration and reused with no significant loss in its reactivity.
