Abstract
Potassium permanganate absorbed on alumina is used to oxidize 1,4-cyclohexa dienes to the corresponding aromatic compounds. Intermolecular Diels-Alder reactions followed by dehydrogenation of the products with potassium perman ganate supported on alumina gives an efficient two step synthesis of highly substituted aromatic compounds from acyclic precursors.
