Abstract

The compounds previously reported to be 2, 2, 4-trimethylpentane-1, 4-diol and the corresponding dibromide are reidentified as 2, 5-dimethylhexane-2, 5-diol and dibromide, respectively. Synthesis of the authentic 1, 4-diol is reported. From the solvolysis of the related 2, 2, 4-trimethyl-3-penten-l-ol p-toluenesulfonate it is concluded that the erroneous structure assignment resulted from an extremely facile skeletal rearrangement proceeding ...
