The hydroperoxidation of alkyl enol ethers using <i>N</i>-hydroxyphthalimide and molecular oxygen occurred in the absence of catalyst, initiator, or light. The reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism that is initiated by <i>N</i>-hydroxyphthalimide-promoted autoxidation of the enol ether substrate. The resulting dioxetane products decompose in a chemiluminescent reaction that allows for photochemical activation of <i>N</i>-hydroxyphthalimide in the absence of other light sources. ...[more]
