Synthesis of 1,1-bishydroperoxydi(cycloalkyl) peroxides by homocoupling of 11-15-membered gem-bis(hydroperoxy)cycloalkanes in the presence of boron trifluoride

A procedure was developed for the synthesis of 1,1′-bishydroperoxydi(C11-C15-cycloalkyl) peroxides based on homocoupling of geminal 11–15-membered bis(hydroperoxy)cycloalkanes in the presence of BF3⋅OEt2.
