Hydroperoxides were synthesized in one step from various alkenes using Co(pic) 2 as the catalyst with molecular oxygen and tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO). The hydration product could be obtained using a modified catalyst, Co(3-mepic) 2 , with molecular oxygen and phenylsilane. Formation of hydroperoxides occurred through a rapid Co−O bond metathesis of a peroxycobalt compound with isopropanol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
