title: Synthesis of tert-butyl peresters from aldehydes by Bu4NI-catalyzed metal-free oxidation and its combination with the Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction.
abstract: A new tert-butyl peresters synthesis directly from aldehydes and TBHP was developed via Bu(4)NI-catalyzed aldehyde C-H oxidation. Mechanistic studies suggest that the protocol proceeds via a radical process. Combining the method with the Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction offers a practical approach for the synthesis of allylic esters from simple aldehydes and alkenes via a two-step one-pot procedure.
