Abstract

Abstract: The reaction of methyl (trifluoromethy1) dioxirane (lb), a novel dioxirane species, with two open-chain, four cyclic, and five polycyclic saturated hydrocarbons and two aralkyl hydrocarbons in CH, C12/1, l, I-trifluoropropanone has been studied; under mild conditions (- 22 to 0" C), it gives alcohols and/or ketones (deriving from further oxidation of secondary alcohols) in high yields and within very short reaction times. Primary CH bonds are not ...
