F. Minisci et al., TRAPPING OF FREE-RADICALS IN THE OXIDATION OF ETHERS, ALDEHYDES AND ALKANES BY DIMETHYLDIOXIRANE, Tetrahedron letters, 36(11), 1995, pp. 1895-1898
Alkyl, alpha-oxyalkyl and acyl radical intermediates in the oxidation
of alkanes, ethers and aldehydes by dimethyldioxirane are trapped by p
rotonated quinolines and a free-radical chain is suggested for the alp
ha-acetoxylation of ketones.
