Mixed peroxides from the chloroperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation of conjugated dienoic esters with a trisubstituted terminal double bond

The chloroperoxidase (CPO)-catalyzed oxidations of conjugated dienoic esters with a trisubstituted terminal double bond were studied by using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the terminal oxidant. Most of the substrates gave disubstituted mixed peroxides as the major products.
