Abstract
The oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds adjacent to aryl and alkyl moieties was efficiently achieved with monoacetylated bishydroperoxides. Base-mediated fragmentation of monoacetylated bishydroperoxides generates singlet molecular oxygen as active oxidant in situ. All the reactions furnished the respective carbonyl compounds in good yields at room temperature within short reaction times.
