The ozonolysis of bicyclic 1,2-dioxines was investigated using a variety of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2-dioxines along with a 1,3-dialkyl and steroidal example, with yields ranging from moderate to excellent. Two different pathways were observed upon reaction of the 1,4-disubstituted 1,2-dioxines with ozone; one pathway saw the "expected" results, that is, cleavage of the olefinic moiety with generation of 1,4-dicarbonyl 1,2-dioxines, while the other pathway revealed a previously unobserved rearrangement involving cleavage of the peroxide linkage along with loss of either CO or CO(2). Several unsymmetrical ozonolyses were also performed to further investigate the origins of this rearrangement, and initial mechanistic insights into the fragmentation pathways are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010126 Ozone The unstable triatomic form of oxygen, O3. It is a powerful oxidant that is produced for various chemical and industrial uses. Its production is also catalyzed in the ATMOSPHERE by ULTRAVIOLET RAY irradiation of oxygen or other ozone precursors such as VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS and NITROGEN OXIDES. About 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere exists in the stratosphere (STRATOSPHERIC OZONE).
