Vn. Khrustalev et al., REACTION OF STEREOISOMERIC BIS(CYCLOHEXYL)-2,2'-DIONES WITH HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE - STRUCTURE OF THE FORMED ADDUCTS, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(5), 1995, pp. 907-912
The reaction of meso- and D,L-forms of bis(cyclohexyl)-2,2'-dione with
a methanol solution of hydrogen peroxide in a neutral medium has been
studied. It has been established that in the case of the D,L-form hyd
roxy-2,3-dioxatricyclo[8.4.0.0(4,9)]tetradecane is formed, while the m
eso-form affords ydroxy-2,3-dioxatricyclo[8.4.0.0(4,9)]tetradecane. Th
e structures of the compounds have been established by X-ray structura
l analysis and by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy.
