Abstract

Abstract: The ozonolysis of ethylene to ethylene ozonide was studied in a variety of solvents. The cross-ozonide yields, aldehyde-insertion yields, secondary kinetic isotope effects, and reaction stereochemistry were evaluated by using mass spectroscopy and microwave spectroscopy to follow isotopic labels. Yields of ozonide are high and can be maximized with polar solvents and low temperatures. Cross-ozonide and aldehyde-insertion yields ...
