Synthesis of Peroxy-Containing Acetylenic Alcohols and Ethers Derived from γ-Amino Ketones

A series of peroxy-containing tertiary alcohols were prepared by the reactions of lithium peroxy acetylenides with γ-amino ketones. The reactions of the intermediate lithium peroxy alcoholates with alkyl iodides in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide yielded the corresponding peroxy ethers. The thermal stability of the compounds synthesized was evaluated by thermal analysis.
