Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/ardp.19943270809

Oxidations of the ω-phenylalkylmalonate derivatives 1a-f afford cyclization products 2 as well as nitro-, alcohol and acetoxy compounds 3-7. The distribution of products depends sensitively on the temp. and on the water content of the reaction medium and
