A summary of the most recent applications of malonyl peroxides as reagents in organic synthesis is discussed. The microreview covers the latest selected examples on the usage of malonyl peroxides: dioxygenation and oxyamination of alkenes; oxidative C–O coupling with arenes, enol ethers, 1,3-dicarbonyl and N-heterocyclic compounds; sulfoxide synthesis.

Introduction Malonyl peroxides were first synthesized in 1971 by the group of professor Adam.1 Since that time, a significant amount of works were dedicated to the thermolysis, photolysis,2 and pyrolysis3 of malonyl peroxides. Cyclic structure and absence of an acidic proton favorably distinguish substituted malonyl peroxides from acyclic diacyl peroxides and peracids. Due to these features, one can expect an unusual properties of malonyl peroxides. In

Alkene dioxygenation A method for dihydroxylation of alkenes by the action of malonyl peroxides has been described by Tomkinson group.9 Syn-1,2-diols were prepared by the reaction of alkenes with cyclopropyl or cyclobutene malonyl peroxides in presence of H2O in CHCl3 or PhMe/RFOH medium followed by hydrolysis with 30–93% yield (up to syn:anti > 50:1).

the recent years, chemistry of malonyl peroxides has been studied intensively.4 This microreview contains data on the application of malonyl peroxides as reagents for stereoselective dioxygenation and oxyamination of alkenes with the formation of diols or heterocyclic compounds, as well as for sulfoxide synthesis. The oxidative C–O coupling of malonyl peroxides with arenes, various CH acids,5–8 and enol ethers are also discussed.

The reaction between homoallylic alcohols or carboxylic acids with cyclopropyl malonyl peroxide in HFIP led to the formation of tetrahydrofurans or γ-lactones with 44−82% yield and up to 27:1 trans selectivity.10
