Abstract
In this article are reviewed some special topics for the synthesis of cyclic peroxides ; (a) a survey for the synthesis of 1, 2-dioxolanes, a model of prostaglandine endoperoxide, (b) synthesis of cyclic peroxides by a process involving single electron transfer, (c) peroxyzwitter ions and diradicals as the key intermediates in the synthesis of cyclic peroxides, and (d) peroxy intermediates participating in ozonolysis and related reactions.
