Polyoxygenated cyclohexenes from aromatic compounds: selective reactions of bis(endoperoxides)
Abstract
Selective rearrangements of the styrene bis(endoperoxide)(1) at a single endoperoxide ring have been observed on thermolysis, photolysis, or treatment with triethylamine; reduction by phosphorus(III) reagents gives reaction at the bicyclic endoperoxide ring of the bis(endoperoxides)(1) and (8).
