Abstract:
Peroxosolvates of 2-aminonicotinic acid (I) and lidocaine N-oxide (II) including the largest insular hydrogen peroxide clusters were isolated and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. An unprecedented dodecameric hydrogen peroxide insular cluster was found in I. An unusual cross-like pentameric cluster was observed in the structure of II. The topology of the (H2 O2 )12 assembly was never observed for small-molecule clusters. In I and II new double and triple cross-orientational disorders of H2 O2 were found. Cluster II is the first example of a peroxosolvate crystal structure containing H2 O2 molecules with a homoleptic hydrogen peroxide environment. In II, a hydrogen bond between an H2 O2 molecule and a peptide group -CONH⋅⋅⋅O2 H2 was observed for the first time.

Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
