Solid-State Structure of Some Substituted Hexahydro-1,4:5,8-diepoxy­naphthalenes

Abstract

The structure of several carboxy-substituted hexahydro-1,4:5,8-diepoxynaphthalenes have been solved with X-ray crystallography, in some cases confirming previously contentious structures. The compounds of interest are constructed in efficient onestep 2 × [4+2] cycloaddition reactions from furan and acetylene carboxylate derivatives.
