1,1-Dihydroperoxycyclododecane as a new, crystalline non-hygroscopic oxidizer for the chemical synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides

Mild and efficient strontium chloride hexahydrate-catalyzed conversion of ketones and aldehydes into corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides by aqueous H2O2

SrCl₂·6H₂O has been shown to act as an efficient catalyst for the conversion of aldehydes or ketones into the corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides (DHPs) by treatment with aqueous H₂O₂ (30%) in acetonitrile. The reactions proceed under mild and neutral conditions at room temperature to afford good to excellent yields of product.

Mild and efficient Re(VII)-catalyzed synthesis of 1,1-dihydroperoxides

Re2O7 in CH3CN is a remarkably efficient and mild catalyst for the peroxyacetalization of ketones, aldehydes, or acetals by H2O2 to generate 1,1-dihydroperoxides. Me3SiOReO3 and methyl rhenium trioxide (MTO) are also effective catalysts under these reaction conditions.
