Abstract
Abstract tert‐ Butyl hydroperoxide (tBuOOH, TBHP) is a commonly used hydroperoxide in many oxidation processes. The primary factors contributing to the increasing usefulness of TBHP include its affordability, eco‐friendliness, exceptional efficacy, and capacity to substitute harmful or rare heavy metal oxidants. In this sexennial update, we thoroughly and critically examined the most noteworthy applications of TBHP in C−H functionalization and heteroatom‐heteroatom bond formation reactions from 2018 till the present. The review has been subdivided based on the nature of the bonds being formed. The review focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of using synthetic organic transformations, as well as the breadth of their use and the underlying mechanisms involved.
