Abstract

Evidence was similarly obtained for oxygen atom transfer from a gem-dialkylperoxonium ion based on naphthopyran.* However, this system suffered the disadvantage that the hydroperoxide precursor had to be generated in situ from hydrogen peroxide, thus adding to the potential complications of any mechanistic investigation. Hence, we restricted our mechanistic studies to the systems yielding ions 2 and 4.
