T. Tokuyasu et al., Synthesis of 3-hydroperoxy (or hydroxy)substituted 1,2-dioxanes and 1,2-dioxepanes by the ozonolysis of unsaturated hydroperoxy acetals, HETEROCYCLE, 53(6), 2000, pp. 1293-1304
Mono-ozonolysis of dienes in methanol gave in each case the corresponding u
nsaturated hydroperoxy acetals. The reaction of the hydroperoxides with ozo
ne in the solvent system such as AcOH-CH2Cl2 resulted in the production of
the corresponding hydroperoxy (or hydroxy)substituted 1,2-dioxanes or 1,2-d
ioxepanes in good yield. By the treatment of the derived products with TMSO
Tf-Et3SiH, replacement of the methoxy (or hydroxy) group by hydrogen was ac
complished.
