Abstract

Seventeen unsaturated hydroperoxides have been converted by treatment with mercury (II) acetate and/or mercury (II) nitrate into nineteen new mercuriated cyclic peroxides and by subsequent demercuriation with alkaline sodium borohydride, six new mercury-free peroxides have been isolated. The results greatly extend the range of such reactions and provide information about the stereoselectivities and relative ease of several different ...
