Abstract
Organic peroxides are an important class of compounds for organic synthesis, pharmacological chemistry, materials science, and the polymer industry. Here, for the first time, we summarize the main achievements in the synthesis of organic peroxides by the action of Lewis acids and heteropoly acids. This review consists of three parts: (1) metal-based Lewis acids in the synthesis of organic peroxides; (2) the synthesis of organic peroxides promoted by non-metal-based Lewis acids; and (3) the application of heteropoly acids in the synthesis of organic peroxides. The information covered in this review will be useful for specialists in the field of organic synthesis, reactions and processes of oxygen-containing compounds, catalysis, pharmaceuticals, and materials engineering.

How to Build Rigid Oxygen-Rich Tricyclic Heterocycles from Triketones and Hydrogen Peroxide: Control of Dynamic Covalent Chemistry with Inverse α-Effect. J Am Chem Soc 2020; 142:14588-14607.

Abstract
We describe an efficient one-pot procedure that "folds" acyclic triketones into structurally complex, pharmaceutically relevant tricyclic systems that combine high oxygen content with unusual stability. In particular, β,γ'-triketones are converted into three-dimensional polycyclic peroxides in the presence of H2O2 under acid catalysis. These transformations are fueled by stereoelectronic frustration of H2O2, the parent peroxide, where the lone pairs of oxygen are not involved in strongly stabilizing orbital interactions. Computational analysis reveals how this frustration is relieved in the tricyclic peroxide products, where strongly stabilizing anomeric nO→σC-O* interactions are activated. The calculated potential energy surfaces for these transformations combine labile, dynamically formed cationic species with deeply stabilized intermediate structures that correspond to the introduction of one, two, or three peroxide moieties. Paradoxically, as the thermodynamic stability of the peroxide products increases along this reaction cascade, the kinetic barriers for their formation increase as well. This feature of the reaction potential energy surface, which allows separation of mono- and bis-peroxide tricyclic products, also explains why formation of the most stable tris-peroxide is the least kinetically viable and is not observed experimentally. Such unique behavior can be explained through the "inverse α-effect", a new stereoelectronic phenomenon with many conceptual implications for the development of organic functional group chemistry.

Synthetic Approaches to Mono- and Bicyclic Perortho-Esters with a Central 1,2,4-Trioxane Ring as the Privileged Lead Structure in Antimalarial and Antitumor-Active Peroxides and Clarification of the Peroxide Relevance. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22010119. [PMID: 28085079 PMCID: PMC6155645 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22010119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2016] [Revised: 01/04/2017] [Accepted: 01/06/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The synthesis of 4-styryl-substituted 2,3,8-trioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes, peroxides with the core structure of the bioactive 1,2,4-trioxane ring, was conducted by a multistep route starting from the aryl methyl ketones 1a–1c. Condensation and reduction/oxidation delivered enals 4a–4c that were coupled with ethyl acetate and reduced to the 1,3-diol substrates 6a–6c. Highly diastereoselective photooxygenation delivered the hydroperoxides 7a–7c and subsequent PPTS (pyridinium-p-toluenesulfonic acid)-catalyzed peroxyacetalization with alkyl triorthoacetates gave the cyclic peroxides 8a–8e. These compounds in general show only moderate antimalarial activities. In order to extend the repertoire of cyclic peroxide structure, we aimed for the synthesis of spiro-perorthocarbonates from orthoester condensation of β-hydroxy hydroperoxide 9 but could only realize the monocyclic perorthocarbonate 10. That the central peroxide moiety is the key structural motif in anticancer active GST (glutathione S-transferase)-inhibitors was elucidated by the synthesis of a 1,3-dioxane 15—with a similar substitution pattern as the pharmacologically active peroxide 11—via a singlet oxygen ene route from the homoallylic alcohol 12.

Abstract
The present review describes the current status of synthetic five and six-membered cyclic peroxides such as 1,2-dioxolanes, 1,2,4-trioxolanes (ozonides), 1,2-dioxanes, 1,2-dioxenes, 1,2,4-trioxanes, and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes. The literature from 2000 onwards is surveyed to provide an update on synthesis of cyclic peroxides. The indicated period of time is, on the whole, characterized by the development of new efficient and scale-up methods for the preparation of these cyclic compounds. It was shown that cyclic peroxides remain unchanged throughout the course of a wide range of fundamental organic reactions. Due to these properties, the molecular structures can be greatly modified to give peroxide ring-retaining products. The chemistry of cyclic peroxides has attracted considerable attention, because these compounds are used in medicine for the design of antimalarial, antihelminthic, and antitumor agents.

Abstract
Cycloalkanones were utilized in the Lewis acid catalyzed peroxyacetalization of ß-hydroperoxy homoallylic alcohols (prepared by the ene reaction of the allylic alcohols mesitylol and methyl 4-hydroxytiglate, respectively, with singlet oxygen) to give spiroannulated 1,2,4-trioxanes 5a–5e and 9a–9e, respectively. A second series of 3-arylated trioxanes 10a–10h, that are available from the hydroperoxy alcohol 4 and benzaldehyde derivatives, was investigated by X-ray crystallography.
