The cleavage reaction of some 1,3-benzodioxole derivatives with magnesium bromide and acetic anhydride has been studied.The reactions have been carried out in acetonitrile solution at room temperature.In all of the 1,3-benzodioxoles studied, the opening of the heterocyclic ring with formation of bromides, alkenes and their corresponding products of hydrolysis have been observed.The competitive electrophilic substitution on the benzene ring was very limited and was insignificant when a large excess of the cleavage reagent was used.The structures of newly prepared compounds have been determined by elemental analysis, spectroscopic data and comparison with authentic samples.
