The instability of hydroxy peroxyesters, the elusive Criegee intermediates of the Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement, can be alleviated by selective deactivation of the stereoelectronic effects that promote the 1,2-alkyl shift. Stable cyclic Criegee intermediates constrained within a five-membered ring can be prepared by mild reduction of the respective hydroperoxy peroxyesters (β-hydroperoxy-β-peroxylactones) which were formed in high yields in reaction of β-ketoesters with BF ⋅Et O/H O .

Fifteen sesquiterpenoids, including five previously undescribed monomers with oxidative rearranged skeletons (sarglabenoids A-E, 1-5) and three previously unreported lindenane [2+2] dimers (sarglabenoids F-H, 6-8), alongside seven related precursors (9-15), were isolated from the root of Sarcandra glabra. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using a combination of high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the circular dichroism exciton chirality method, electronic circular dichroism, and nuclear magnetic resonance calculations integrated with DP4+ analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 feature an unique 5/5 spiro ring system, which is likely derived from a pinacol rearrangement of precursor 14.

The synthesis of tetra- and pentanorlabdane compounds with rearranged cycle B based on commercially available (+)-sclareolide is reported. Desired compounds were prepared from intermediate ketones via Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral IR, 1D (H, C, and DEPT), and 2D (H-COSY, H,C-HSQC, H,C-HMBC, H,N-HMBC, NOESY) NMR analyses, mass-spectrometry and single crystal X-rays diffraction.

Radical oxidation of DNA gives rise to potentially deleterious lesions such as strand breaks and various nucleobase modifications including 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine (5-fo-dU), a prevalent product derived from the oxidation of the C5-methyl group of thymidine. The present study investigates the unusual transformation of 5-fo-dU into 5-hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine (5-oh-dU) and 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydro-2'-deoxuridine (gly-dU), two products typically associated with the oxidation of 2'-deoxycytidine. Detailed mechanistic analyses reveal that hydrogen peroxide, either generated as a byproduct of ascorbate autoxidation or added exogenously, mediates the formation of these oxidatively induced C5-dealkylated products.

Vitamin C (ascorbate; Asc) is a biologically important antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen species such as deleterious alkylperoxyl radicals (ROO), which are generated by radical-mediated oxidation of biomolecules in the presence of oxygen. The radical trapping proprieties of Asc are conventionally attributed to its ability to undergo single-electron transfers with reactive species. According to this mechanism, the reaction between Asc and ROO results in the formation of dehydroascorbate (DHA) and the corresponding hydroperoxides (ROOH).

Polyolefins are the most widely produced type of plastics owing to their low production cost and favorable properties. Their polymer backbone consists solely of inert C-C bonds, making them resistant and durable materials. Although this is an extremely useful attribute during their use phase, it complicates chemical recycling.
