Synthesis of γ-hydroperoxy-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds from α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by cobalt(II) porphyrin-catalysed hydroperoxygenation
Abstract
γ-Hydroperoxy-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are prepared in good yields by the regioselective hydroperoxygenation of α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with molecular oxygen and triethylsilane in the presence of cobalt(II) porphyrin as a catalyst.
