Treatment of quadricyclane (2) with dimethyldioxirane (1) leads to the formation of exo-norborna-2,5-diene monoepoxide (4), exo,exo-norborna-2,5-diene diepoxide (5), bicyclohex-2-ene-6-endo-carboxaldehyde (6), and exo-2,3-epoxybicyclohexane-6-endo-carboxaldehyde(7).The reaction is believed to involve prior catalyzed isomerization of 2 by 1 to norbornadiene (3) and subsequent conversion of 3 to the observed products.Under suitable conditions 1 reacts with 3 to give 4 and 6 in a 97:3 distribution, respectively.
