Di-tert-butyl Peroxide (DTBP)-Promoted Heterocyclic Ring Construction

Abstract: Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is one of the most widely used organic peroxides in a variety of oxidative transformations. The main factors contributing to the increasing use of DTBP are its affordability, minimal environmental impact, great effectiveness, and capacity to substitute scarce or dangerous heavy metal oxidants. We have reviewed critically and succinctly the noteworthy applications of DTBP in heterocyclic ring constructions from 2014 onwards in this decennial update. The main components of this evaluation are the pros and cons of its use, the scope of a synthetic organic transformation, and mechanistic logistics.
