Notes:
Decomposition of cyclohexane and 1-methylcyclohexane hydroperoxides in cis-and trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane in the presence of boric acid esters results in a non-stereospecific attack at the tertiary C—H bonds of the 1,4-dimethylcyclohexanes. Mixtures of cis- and trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexanols are formed in every case. This proves that the attack of the hydroperoxides at the tertiary C—H bonds does not proceed by an aliphatic SE2 mechanism.
