Abstract
The reaction of hydroperoxides with triphenylphosphine is catalyzed by the addition of strong acid. Likewise in hydroxylic solvents, the log of the bimolecular rate constant increases linearly with the solvents' autoprotolysis constants. Soluble salts of molybdenum or vanadium are 104 to 105 times more effective catalysts than H+. The reaction shows promise as a method for quantitative comparison of the effectiveness of these compounds in augmenting the electrophilic character of hydroperoxides.
