Abstract
TBAI catalyzes an efficient, mild, and regioselective synthesis of 4-aryl/alkyl-1-peroxy-but-3-en-2-ols in good yields from 1-substituted-1,3-butadienes in the presence of hydroperoxides and water. This regioselective orthogonal dioxygenation of a diene can be executed in a simple operation and tolerates a wide range of substrates.
