Preparation of cyclodeca-1,6-diyne-3,8-diol and its dimethyl ether
Abstract
The silver ion-promoted hydrolysis and methanolysis of the bis-dibromocarbene adduct of cis,cis-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene are described; the conversion of the major products into 3,8-dihydroxy- and 3,8-dimethoxy-cyclodeca-1,6-diynes, respectively, is also reported.
