ChemInform Abstract: Tricyclo(3.1.0.02,6)hexanedione (VI) (the Valene of o-Benzoquinone), Bicyclo(2.1.1)hexane-2,3-dione (Va), and Valenes (VIII) of a Quinoxaline, of Phenazine, and of a Benzophenazine.
Abstract
From cyclopentadiene the cis diol (IV) is now obtained in 4 steps (total yield 10%) and accordingly (Va) in 5 steps (total yield 5%).
ChemInform Abstract
From cyclopentadiene the cis diol (IV) is now obtained in 4 steps (total yield 10%) and accordingly (Va) in 5 steps (total yield 5%). Swern ox. is found to give best results in the oxidations of diols (I), (III), and (IV) to diones (VI), (Vb), and (Va), respectively.
