Palladium(II)-catalyzed cyclization of unsaturated hydroperoxides for the synthesis of 1,2-dioxanes.

ABSTRACT: The cyclization of gamma,delta-unsaturated tertiary hydroperoxides in the presence of a palladium(II) catalyst afforded 1,2-dioxanes resembling biologically active natural products. A variety of substrates were screened, and synthetic manipulations were accomplished to construct compounds with structural similarity to antimalarial targets.
