A View of Unusual Peroxides

摘要: Chemical processes involving oxygen can lead to unstable peroxide molecules such as three-membered ring dioxiranes. In his Perspective, Greer describes the stability of a variety heteroatom-containing dioxiranes and tools used characterize peroxides species. He highlights report by Ho et al ., who have low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance obtain direct evidence for dioxirane intermediates. The method may also be applicable biological systems in which been implicated.
