28. The use of one equivalent of MeCOOOtBu gives a similar yield over a prolonged time (72 h); the use of five equivalents of MeCOOOtBu shortens the reaction time to 36 hours.
29. The use of peroxyester carbonate iPrOCOOOtBu also gives the acetoxylated products in similar yields (see the Supporting Information).
