Notes:
The reactions of the allylic peroxides ascaridole, cyclohexadiene endoperoxide, and α-phellandrene peroxide with triphenylphosphine follow an SNi'-type mechanism. In contrast, the acyclic allylic compounds, allyl tert-butyl peroxide, α-cumyl cyclohexenyl peroxide, and tert-butyl cyclohexenyl peroxide apparently react with triphenylphosphine by a free-radical mechanism. The saturated cyclic peroxide dihydroascaridole, in which there is no possibility of an allylic rearrangement, gives with triphenylphosphine a mixture of olefinic alcohols. Di-n-butyl peroxide is readily cleaved by sodium dialkyl phosphites, but sterically hindered peroxides do not react under similar conditions. Reaction can, however, take place at the oxygen adjacent to a large group if a smaller substituent is present on the other oxygen atom.
