Phase-Transfer Catalytic Alkylation of Hydroperoxides: A Convenient Route to Mixed Dialkyl Peroxides

Abstract
The solid-liquid phase transfer catalytic alkylation of hydroperoxides using solid potassium hydroxide as a base and TEBAC as a phase transfer catalyst is reported. When the alkylating agent is a primary bromide, this reaction represents a simple and quick method for the synthesis of mixed dialkyl peroxides in fair yields.
