B. Maillard et al., INTRAMOLECULAR HOMOLYTIC SUBSTITUTIONS .2 0. INFLUENCE OF THE NATURE OF THE PEROXIDE FUNCTION ON INDUCED DECOMPOSITION OF DELTA-UNSATURATEDPEROXIDES, Canadian journal of chemistry, 72(4), 1994, pp. 1094-1098
Induced decomposition of delta-unsaturated peroxidic derivatives CH2=C
H(CH2)(3)OY (Y = OtBu, OCMe(2)Ph, OCOEt, OCMe(2)OMe) in various solven
ts yields a heterocycte and, in some cases, a peroxidic adduct. Intram
olecular homolytic substitution (S(H)i) leading to the cyclic ether is
highly dependent on the thermal stability of the peroxidic linkage. T
he rate constant was determined at 60 degrees C for Y = OtBu, OCMe(2)P
