Oxidation f-butyl hydroperoxide

Hydroperoxides and peroxides oxidize primary and secondary aliphatic amines to imines. Thus f-butyl hydroperoxide oxidizes 4-methyl-2-pentyl-amine to 2-(4-methylpentylidene)-4-methyl-2-pentylamine in 66% yield [29]. Di-r-butyl peroxide reacts in a similar manner [29]. However, this reaction is... 

Cleavage of acetals.1 In the presence of a Pd(II) catalyst, f-butyl hydroperoxide oxidatively cleaves a five- or six-membered acetal to an ester of a diol. Pd(OAc)2 and PdCl2 can catalyze this reaction, but CF3C02Pd00C(CH3)3 (10, 299) is most effective. The cleavage of acetals derived from unsymmetrical diols is not regioselective. 

Oxidation of the products by ruthenium(VIII) oxide with the TIPS group still in place gives a mixture of carboxylic acid and an a-keto acyl silane (silyl a-diketone (eq 13), an otherwise rare class of compounds compare the oxidation of disubstituted alkynes to 1,2-diketones by Ru04 9 and the osmium tetroxide-f-butyl hydroperoxide oxidation of TMS-aUcynes. ...
