Selective synthesis of cyclic triperoxides from 1,1′-dihydroperoxydi(cycloalkyl)peroxides and acetals using SnCl4

Abstract

A method for the synthesis of 1,2,4,5,7,8-hexaoxonanes by the reaction of 1,1′-dihydroperoxydi(cycloalkyl)peroxides with acetals using SnCl4 has been developed. For the first time, it was shown that SnCl4 can serve as an effective reagent for the synthesis of cyclic organic peroxides. The proposed method allows obtaining 9-membered cyclic triperoxides selectively and in the yields of up to 90% based on the isolated product.
