LEUCINE : AN EFFICIENT AND GREEN AMINO ACID CATALYST FOR CONVERSION OF ALDEHYDES AND KETONES INTO GEM-DIHYDROPEROXIDES WITH H2O2
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Leucine amino acid, has been explored as an effective catalyst for conversion of ketones and aldehydes into corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides using 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile at room temperature. The reactions proceed smoothly within short periods of time to provide the respective gem-dihydroperoxides in excellent yields. Mild reaction conditions, low reaction times, high yields, low environmental impact, use of non-expensive, recyclable and green catalyst are the main merits of the present method.
