31. This reductive work-up was included as a precaution, but it is noteworthy that the α′-peroxy compounds were never detected. This may be due to the presence of the TMEDA, which may promote in situ reduction of the hydroperoxide to the corresponding hydroxy group. See (a) Capp, C.W.; Hawkins, E.G.E.
