Are there any organic compounds with three or more oxygen atoms bonded together in a straight chain?

Recently, there was [a question](https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/162049/is-there-something-like-hcooooh-in-which-there-is-already-enough-oxygen-in-the-m) which enquired about some oxygen rich compounds that burn themselves completely and thus not requiring any external atmospheric oxygen. The author came up with the compound $\ce{HC(=O)OOOH}$\* which I am not sure if it exists. We already have [peracids](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxy_acid) ($\ce{RC(=O)OOH}$) but I am not sure if there is any acid that has longer oxygen chain than peracid and I am also not sure if it remains acid any longer. Internet does not give me valid result. I know that long oxygen chains are unstable and prone to detonation (as are all oxygen rich compounds) but OP's compound\* made me curious.


We have had previous discussions before mainly discussion hydrogen polyoxides, $\ce{HO\_nH}$ (*which has been detected and produced experimentally*), peroxide linkage vs disulfide and bond energy comparison:


1. [Why does sulfur, but not oxygen, catenate?](https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/431/why-does-sulfur-but-not-oxygen-catenate)
2. [Are long oxygen molecules possible?](https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/35574/are-long-oxygen-molecules-possible)
3. [Why is an S-S bond stronger than an O-O bond?](https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/47056/why-is-an-s-s-bond-stronger-than-an-o-o-bond)
4. [Why are peroxides unstable but disulfide bridges considered stable? Why are esters stable but thiolesters are unstable?](https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/79073/why-are-peroxides-unstable-but-disulfide-bridges-considered-stable-why-are-este)


However I am asking if there is any such corresponding *organic compound* that has been detected spectroscopically and that it exists even for some microseconds?

\*the question was later edited to performic acid, thus its existence is already in question.  

\*\*When writing the formula, it looks like four oxygen atoms together in straight chain. However, one of the oxygen exist as carbonyl bond, thus compounds with three or more oxygen atoms in straight chain is in question.




Three oxygen atoms in a row is more common than one might think. In the first stage of the reaction between alkenes and ozone, the ozone is attached to both ends of the double bond to form an intermediate with a five-membered ring (a [molozonide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molozonide)). This ring contains the three oxygen atoms still in a row, before it breaks up:

In addition, ionic ozonides, $\ce{R^+O\_3^-}$, are known with some organic cations $\ce{R^+}$. These are made by metathesis reactions from the ozonides of heavier alkali metals, as described in [this answer](https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/a/159283/17175) for $\ce{(CH\_3)\_4N^+O\_3^-}$.
