Abstract

Because of our recent investigation of the singlet oxygen “ene” reaction of l- methoxycyclohexene, 2 we were interested in preparing the enol ether allylic hydroperoxide, 3-hydro-peroxy-2-methoxycyclohexene (1). Allylic hydroperoxides have been synthesized by various method^:^(a) from the free-radical autoxidation of olefins, initiated thermally or photolytically;(b) from the autoxidation of organometallic compounds, particularly Grignard ...
