Crystallographic characterization of the helical diketone, C₃₆H₁₄O₂, a new product from the flash vacuum pyrolysis of decacyclene in the presence of oxygen

Abstract

The helical diketone, C₃₆H₁₄O₂, is formed during the flash vacuum pyrolysis of decacyclene in the presence of oxygen and has been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
