Access to 3,3'-disubstituted peroxyoxindole derivatives and α-peroxyamides via azaoxyallyl cation-guided addition of hydroperoxides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Jul 5;58(54):7538-7541. doi: 10.1039/d2cc02378d.

Abstract

Herein, a transition metal-free approach for access to 3,3'-disubstituted peroxyoxindole is disclosed, which harnesses a transient azaoxyallyl cation. This strategy is also applicable to the synthesis of structurally diverse α-peroxycarboxylic acid surrogates. The method exhibits good functional group tolerance and is suitable for generating a library of peroxy-containing compounds.
