Oxenoids in organic synthesis.
Experimental and theoretical studies of metalated peroxides confirmed their unique properties as oxenoids (electrophilic oxidants) allowing for a highly selective and efficient oxidation processes of nucleophilic organometallic species. In this short review we present the most prominent examples of the application of this class of reagents towards organic synthesis.
