Heterocyclic Hydroperoxides in Selective Oxidations

“…In the temperature range of 20−45 °C crystalline hydroperoxy sultams 130 are obtained in good yields. This procedure is quite general as proven by the successful syntheses of a series of hydroperoxysultams with little or no modification . A X-ray crystallographic study of 130d revealed a head-to-tail network of alternating hydrogen bonds involving the OOH of one molecule of 130d and the sulfone oxygen of a second molecule, which we believe is responsible for the remarkable stability of these compounds at ambient temperature.…”

“…Since the initial report on synthesis of hydroperoxysultams substantial work has been done on the wider chemistry of this group of compounds and the synthetic methodology has been extended to a large number of similar hydroperoxides ).…”
