    Mo(CO)(6)/t-butyl hydroperoxide, well known to epoxidize olefins, was shown to be a mild and very efficient system for the autoxidation of 5-alkylidene-4,5-dihydrofurans. High yields of primary, secondary and tertiary furyl hydroperoxides have been achieved employing catalytic amount of Mo(CO)(6). A radical mechanism is in agreement with the experimental data
