General Procedure for the Synthesis of Bis(trialkylsilyl) Peroxide (1)

To a solution of 14-diazabicyclo[222]octane (112 g 100 mmol 10 eq) and H2O2

urea complex (941 mg 100 mmol 10 eq) in dry dichloromethane (20 mL) was added a

trialkylsilyl chloride (10 eq) slowly at 0 ˚C under argon atmosphere After 3 h of stirring

at room temperature to the reaction mixture was added pentane (20 mL) and the white

precipitate was removed by filtration Solvent was evaporated and the residue was

purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with pentane) to afford a

corresponding product

General Procedure for Mono-N-Alkylation of Amide (2) with Disilyl Peroxide (1)

To a solution of amide 2 (02 mmol 10 eq) CuI (38 mg 10 mol) and 110-

phenanthroline (36 mg 10 mol) in benzene (05 mL) was added disilyl peroxide 1 (04

mmol 20 eq) under argon atmosphere The reaction mixture was stirred at 100 ˚C for 1

h After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was quenched with H2O

extracted with Et2O for three times The combined organic layer was washed with brine

dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated The residue was purified by flash column

chromatography on silica gel (eluting with ethyl acetatehexane = 23) to afford a

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Bis(trialkylsilyl) Peroxide (1)

To a solution of 14-diazabicyclo[222]octane (112 g 100 mmol 10 eq) and H2O2

urea complex (941 mg 100 mmol 10 eq) in dry dichloromethane (20 mL) was added a

trialkylsilyl chloride (10 eq) slowly at 0 ˚C under argon atmosphere After 3 h of stirring

at room temperature to the reaction mixture was added pentane (20 mL) and the white

precipitate was removed by filtration Solvent was evaporated and the residue was

purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with pentane) to afford a

corresponding product

General Procedure for Mono-N-Alkylation of Amide (2) with Disilyl Peroxide (1)

To a solution of amide 2 (02 mmol 10 eq) CuI (38 mg 10 mol) and 110-

phenanthroline (36 mg 10 mol) in benzene (05 mL) was added disilyl peroxide 1 (04

mmol 20 eq) under argon atmosphere The reaction mixture was stirred at 100 ˚C for 1

h After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was quenched with H2O

extracted with Et2O for three times The combined organic layer was washed with brine

dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated The residue was purified by flash column

chromatography on silica gel (eluting with ethyl acetatehexane = 23) to afford a

corresponding product

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Bis(trialkylsilyl) Peroxide (1)

To a solution of 14-diazabicyclo[222]octane (112 g 100 mmol 10 eq) and H2O2

urea complex (941 mg 100 mmol 10 eq) in dry dichloromethane (20 mL) was added a

trialkylsilyl chloride (10 eq) slowly at 0 ˚C under argon atmosphere After 3 h of stirring

at room temperature to the reaction mixture was added pentane (20 mL) and the white

precipitate was removed by filtration Solvent was evaporated and the residue was

purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with pentane) to afford a

corresponding product

extracted with Et2O for three times The combined organic layer was washed with brine

dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated The residue was purified by flash column

chromatography on silica gel (eluting with ethyl acetatehexane = 23) to afford a

General Procedure for Mono-N-Alkylation of Amide (2) with Disilyl Peroxide (1)

To a solution of amide 2 (02 mmol 10 eq) CuI (38 mg 10 mol) and 110-

phenanthroline (36 mg 10 mol) in benzene (05 mL) was added disilyl peroxide 1 (04

mmol 20 eq) under argon atmosphere The reaction mixture was stirred at 100 ˚C for 1

h After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was quenched with H2O

extracted with Et2O for three times The combined organic layer was washed with brine

dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated The residue was purified by flash column

chromatography on silica gel (eluting with ethyl acetatehexane = 23) to afford a

corresponding product
