. Can. J. Chem. 72,2 198 (1994). HC1-catalyzed reactions of the hemiperacetals 3-methoxy-3-methyl-7-hydroxy-1,2-dioxepane (la) and 3-methoxy-3-methyl-6-hydroxy-1,2-dioxane (lb) and of the related ozonides 1-methyl-6,7,8-trioxabicyclo[3.2. lloctane (20) and 1-methyl-5,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.l]heptane (2b) gave peroxidic monocyclic (11-13), bicyclic (14), and (or) tricyclic (15) products. By contrast, reactions of the peracetals corresponding to l a and lb, viz., 3-methyl-3,7-dimethoxy-1,2-dioxepane (13a) and 3-methyl-3,6-dimethoxy-l,2-dioxane (13b) gave only non-peroxidic products. Reactions of the persubstituted peracetals 3,6-dimethoxy-3,6-dimethyl-l,2-dioxane (25) and 3,6-dimethoxy-3-isopropyl-6-methyl-l,2-dioxane (27) also gave non-peroxidic products, which resulted from fragmentation of the carbon skeletons.KARL GRIESBAUM, GILBERT KIESEL, HEW MERTENS, PETRA KRIU;ER-BECK et HENNING HENKE.

Les reactions catalystes par le HC1 des hkmiperacetals 3-mkthoxy-3-mkthyl-7-hydroxy-1,2-dioxepane (la) et 3-mtthoxy-3-mtthyl-6-hydroxy-l,2-dioxane (lb) et des ozonides apparentts 1-mtthyl-6,7,8-trioxabicyclo[3.2.l]octane (2a] et l-mkthyl-5,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2. Ilheptane (2b) conduisent respectivement aux produits peroxydks monocycliques (11-13) et bicyclique (14) et (ou) tricyclique (15). Par opposition, les rkactions des peracetals correspondants i l a et lb, les 3-methyl-3,7-dimethoxy-1,2-dioxepane (l3a) et 3-methyl-3,6-dimethoxy-1,2-dioxane (13b) ne donnent que des produits non peroxydts. Les reactions des peracetals persubstituks 3,6-dimethoxy-3,6-dimkthyl-1,2-dioxane (25) et 3,6-dim~thoxy-3-isopropyl-6-m~thyl-l,2-dioxane (27) fournissent aussi des produits non peroxydks qui rksultent de la fragmentation des squelettes carbonks.[Traduit par la rkdaction]
