When solubilized in a hexacarboxamide cryptand anion receptor, the peroxide dianion reacts rapidly with CO<sub>2</sub> in polar aprotic organic media to produce hydroperoxycarbonate (HOOCO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>) and peroxydicarbonate (<sup>-</sup>O<sub>2</sub>COOCO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>). Peroxydicarbonate is subject to thermal fragmentation into two equivalents of the highly reactive carbonate radical anion, which promotes hydrogen atom abstraction reactions responsible for the oxidative de ...[more]
