The Formation of Ozonides by Electron Transfer Induced Photo-oxidation of Small-ring Cycloalkenes

Several polymethyl-1,2-diphenylcyclobutenes have been subjected to photo-oxidation in acetonitrile in the presence of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene and it is possible to isolate the corresponding ozonides, in moderate yields (ca. 13percent), apparently formed from oxirans produced in a primary step; 1,4-diketones are not generated from the ozonides under the reaction conditions although they are formed as reaction products by what must be an alternative mechanism.
