Abstract

Abstract Alkoxy (aryl) adamantylidenes react with chromium (VI) or molybenum (VI) oxide diperoxides in CHCl 3 under argon yielding the corresponding 1, 2-dioxetanes and/or carbonyl products derived from the fragmentation of the dioxetanes. The reaction most likely proceeds via preliminary epoxidation of the unsaturaled substrates.
