Organic peroxides can be classified according to peroxide stmcture. There are seven principal classes hydroperoxides dialkyl peroxides a-oxygen substitued alkyl hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides primary and secondary ozonides peroxyacids diacyl peroxides (acyl and organosulfonyl peroxides) and alkyl peroxyesters (peroxycarboxylates, peroxysulfonates, and peroxyphosphates). 

The a-oxygen-substituted hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides comprise a great variety as shown in Figure 1. When discussing peroxides derived from ketones and hydrogen peroxide, (1) is often referred to as a ketone peroxide monomer and (2) as a ketone peroxide dimer. 

Secondary alcohols, such as isopropyl alcohol, j -butyl alcohol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, cyclopentanol, and cyclohexanol, have been autoxidized to hydroxyaLkyl hydroperoxides (1, X = OH R = H) (10,44). These autoxidations usually are carried out at ca 20°C with uv radiation in the presence of a photosensitizer, eg, benzophenone. a-Oxygen-substituted dialkyl peroxides (2, X = Y = OH and X = Y = OOH), also are formed and sometimes they are the exclusive products (10). 

Hydroxyall l Hydroperoxyall l Peroxides. There is evidence that hydroxyalkyl hydroperoxyalkyl peroxides (2, X = OH, Y = OOH) exist in equihbrium with their corresponding carbonyl compounds and other a-oxygen-substituted peroxides. For example, reaction with acyl haUdes yields diperoxyesters. Dilute acid hydrolysis yields the corresponding ketone (44). Reduction with phosphines yields di(hydroxyalkyl) peroxides and dehydration results in formation of cycHc diperoxides (4). 

When two heteroatoms are present in a saturated six-membered ring their effects are approximately additive. Apart from the case of two a oxygen atoms—in 1,3-dioxane (48) the shift of C-2 is S 95.4 instead of 5 108 which a double shift of 40 p.p.m. would require—predictions of shift made on this basis are usually accurate to within 5 p.p.m. and are generally much closer than this. Observed shifts for a few representative examples are shown in structures (48)-(52).

The situation is more complex, when there is an additional oxygen functionality in the a -po-sition (see Table 18)100,101. In this case the a -oxygen may also be involved in the formation of chelates, such as 28 and 29. Thus, chelation with the a -oxygen atom is expected to favor the diastereomer opposite to that from formation of an a-chelate. 

The usual methods for the synthesis of amides bearing an a-oxygen substituent will briefly be discussed below.

The electrochemical oxidation of cyclic and acyclic, V-monosubstitilted and ATY-disubstituted amides and carbamates in a nucleophilic solvent, known as the Ross-Eberson-Ny berg reaction, is a synthetically very useful, clean and efficient method for the introduction of a-oxygen substituents under mild reaction conditions6 1 0.

According to the calculations at high levels of theory, the [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of dienes with the singlet ( A oxygen follow stepwise pathways [37, 38], These results, which were unexpected from the Woodward-Hoffmann rule and the frontier orbital theory, suggest that the [4+2] cycloadditions of the singlet ( A oxygen could be the reactions in the pseudoexcitation band.

One-step hydroxylation of aromatic nucleus with nitrous oxide (N2O) is among recently discovered organic reactions. A high eflSciency of FeZSM-5 zeolites in this reaction relates to a pronounced biomimetic-type activity of iron complexes stabilized in ZSM-5 matrix. N2O decomposition on these complexes produces particular atomic oj gen form (a-oxygen), whose chemistry is similar to that performed by the active oxygen of enzyme monooxygenases. Room temperature oxidation reactions of a-oxygen as well as the data on the kinetic isotope effect and Moessbauer spectroscopy show FeZSM-5 zeolite to be a successfiil biomimetic model. 

At temperatures lower than 573 K a-oxygen is termally stable and reaction (2) selectively occurs with no oxygen evolution into the gas phase (Fig 2). Note that this phenomenon is not the result of oxygen consumption for the surface reoxidation, since our experimental conditions completely exclude a reduction of the sample after its treatment in O2 [12]. When all a-sites are occupied, the reaction terminates. By measuring the amount of N2 produced (or that one of...
