✦ Synopsis


Singlet oxygen, or its synthetic equivalent, is generated by the action of resin-bound molybdate on hydrogen peroxide. Resin-bound peroxomolybdate converts reactant olefins to their ene, [4+2] and [2+2] cyctoaddition or secondary products.

Over the past several years singlet oxygen, 102, has emerged as a powerful synthetic reagent for the introduction of the peroxide function or its supersedents with a remarkable degree of regioselectivityl ~ This reagent has evoked more recent interest because it can provide explicit routes to analogs of naturally occurring peroxides*, many reported to possess potent biological3 or pharmacologic properlies4.
