Abstract

The oxidative cleavage of the known anti-psoriasis drug 1 to give 2 has been reported previously. Due to the importance of accessing medium-sized ring containing systems via oxidative cleavage, this reaction has been revisited revealing additional information about the structure of 2. Alternative reaction products were identified when the reaction was carried out in the presence of water. The conversion of 1 to 2 has also been carried out using ...
