Abstract

Addition of trifluoroacetic acid to adamantylideneadamantane in dichloromethane solution under oxygen in the dark results in a rapid oxygenation of the olefin. The reaction is proposed to proceed through a mechanism involving proton-induced electron transfer from the olefin to oxygen giving its radical cation and a hydroperoxy radical followed by their subsequent reactions.
