The ozonization of cycloolefins and subsequent oxidation of the ozonides to the corresponding terminal diacids have been reported in a few instance^.^-^ In these cases the reaction involved two steps, namely the formation and accumulation of the ozonide in an inert solvent and the oxidation of the ozonide by peracids. Such ozonization of polyolefins could not be controlled short of complete destruction of all double bonds. The ...
