Abstract

II t I=-I amount of cobaltous ion the products were 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate (XXV) and polymer XXVI. 8 Oxidation of I in the presence of toluenesulfonic acid gave the spirocyclic peroxide, 2-methyl-1, 4, 6, 7-tetraoxaspiro-[4.4] nonane (XXXV), as the major product. The reaction scheme (see eq. 1-5) accounts for the formation of the observed products in the case of 2-vinyl-4-methyldioxolane (I)(p. 287). Reactions 2, 3, and 4 of this scheme ...
