Abstract
Photooxygenation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene afforded hydroperoxy endoperoxi des 3 and 4 in a ratio of 88:12. Reduction of 3 with LiAlH4 or thioure a followed by acetylation of the hydroxyl group and KMnO4 oxidation of the double bond gave proto-quercitol 10b. Application of the same rea ction sequences to 4 resulted in the formation of gala-quercitol 14. Q uercitols were easily obtained by ammonolysis of acetate derivatives i n MeOH. The outcome of dihydroxylation reactions were supported by con formational analysis.
