Unprecedented solvolytic diversion of carbonyl oxide intermediates derived from the ozonolysis of 1-methyl-2,3-diphenylindene. Isolation and characterisation of a novel solvent-participated product
Abstract
Ozonolysis of 1-methyl-2,3-diphenylindene (1) in methylene chloride–methanol at –70 °C affords a novel alkoxyhydroperoxide product (3), incorporating methanol, whose crystal structure has been established by X-ray analysis.
