The Chemistry of Dioxirane Systems
Abstract
The recently-postulated ring peroxide intermediate dioxirane has been reacted with reducing agents (i.e., nucleophiles) in order to better understand its usefulness as an oxygen-transfer reagent and a decontaminant. With olefins (both water-soluble and water insoluble), good yields of unusual epoxides have been obtained; in some instances, phase-transfer catalysis was found effective. With pyridine, a kinetic investigation brought out the various steps and processes that occur in the formation and subsequent reactions of the dioxirane ring. A number of exploratory investigations were carried out.
