Acyloxylation of different types of enol ethers (derived from aldehydes and ketones) by dimethyl peroxydicarbonate (DPDC) results in either addition to the double bond or in a formal replacement of an allylic hydrogen by a methoxycarbonyloxy group forming vicinal oxygenated hydrocarbons. 1,3-Oxygenated products via monoacyloxylation could not be observed. The results are compared with copper(I)-catalyzed acyloxylations of 1-methoxycyclohex-1-ene (1a) by means of tert-butyl peroxycarboxylates 2a, b.
