✦ Synopsis

The recent paper by Deno and co-workers' has p-ted us to report the results obtaimd some time ago in our laboratory regarding the rearr vt of tertiary alicyclic hydroperoxides. Rearrangements of aliphatic alkyl hydroperoxides have not been explored in luch depth.

Perhaps the most well-known example of such a rearrent is exemplified by the studies of Hoffman and Board.' Diisobutylene in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and 25% sulfuric acid formed 2,4,4-ttimethyl-2-pentyl hydroperoxide which uaderwent cleavage in 70% sulfuric acid to
