- , α-methoxyhexyllithium derived from stannane 7 [14][15] was reacted with terminal epoxide 5, which gave the allylic alcohol 8 (79%, E/Z = 73:27, Scheme 4). This organolithium also proved reactive with 2,2-disubstituted epoxide 9, giving allylic tertiary alcohol 10 (72%, E/Z = 82:18). A trisubstituted

- peroxyester B is initially prepared from a tertiary alcohol A and a peracid. In addition, the peroxy ester can also be prepared via the reaction of a ketone and a peracid (i.e., through a Baeyer–Villiger oxidation); the additional product of peracid to ketone is often referred to as the Criegee intermediate
- feature of the Criegee rearrangement is that the Criegee intermediate rearranges into a carbocation. The mechanism of the Criegee reaction is presented in Scheme 38. Initially the reaction of the peracid with the tertiary alcohol 122 produces perester (Criegee intermediate) 123. One alkyl substituent
