Abstract

Under flash vacuum pyrolysis, dioxabicyclo [. 2.1] alkanes (= 3, 4, and 5) isomerise to keto- aldehydes, MeCO [CH] CHO, whereas dioxabicyclo [. 2.2] alkanes (= 2, 3, and 4) fragment ot give, by loss of hydrogen and ethylene, mixtures of cycloalkane-1, 4-diones and dialdehydes, OHC [CH] CHO.
