Abstract

An electron-exchange mechanism for the rearrangement can be written, and such a mechanism has been suggested for the ferrous ion catalyzed rearrangement of ascaridole (8) to compound 18." However, it seems unlikely that such a mechanism would give diepoxide 16 in even moderate yield, as rearrangements might be expected.
