The reaction of trimethylsilyl α-trimethylsilylperoxy esters with ketones and aldehydes. A simple, efficient synthesis of 1,2,4-trioxan-5-ones
Abstract
The title compounds readily react in the presence of a catalytic amount of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulphonate to give the corresponding 3,6-substituted 1,2,4-trioxan-5-ones in good yields.
