The ozonolyses of methyl vinyl ether, ethyl vinyl ether, and ethyl isopropenyl ether were studied in a variety of solvents. Alkoxy-1, 2, 4-trioxolanes and alkoxy-1, 2-dioxolanes were the main products in pentane and ester solvents. These products arose from the carbonyl oxide (H, COO) produced upon ozonolysis undergoing 1, 3-cycloaddition reactions with esters and activated olefins (enol ethers). From additional trapping experiments, the ...
