title: Mild and efficient Re(VII)-catalyzed synthesis of 1,1-dihydroperoxides.
abstract: Re2O7 in CH3CN is a remarkably efficient and mild catalyst for the peroxyacetalization of ketones, aldehydes, or acetals by H2O2 to generate 1,1-dihydroperoxides. Me3SiOReO3 and methyl rhenium trioxide (MTO) are also effective catalysts under these reaction conditions.
