The crystalline peroxide 3a is the main product (out of 10 theoretically possible) from the aerial peroxidation of all-cis-2,4,6-trimethyltetrahydropyran (2a). It has a similar structure both in solution and in the crystal as shown by nuclear Overhauser effects and X-ray analysis, respectively. Theoretical calculations at a density functional theory level (B3LYP/6-31G) provide insight into the stabilities of the different stereoisomers of this peroxide, accounting for the facile, acid-catalyzed isomerization from the meso form to the racemate. Peroxide 3b, which is the 2-tert-butyl analogue of 3a, out of 22 theoretically possible isomers, crystallizes in a similar meso form. As a result of crystal packing effects and the intrinsically (axial) chiral peroxy "chromophore" that deviates slightly from the antiperiplanar conformation, both enantiomorphic forms of 3b are encountered in the lattice.
