Functionalized ozonides by substitution reactions of chlorinated ozonides with difunctional alcohols

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/jlac.199719971225

Substitution of 3-chloro-3,5-bis(chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,2,4-trioxolane (3) with allyl alcohol gave the corresponding diastereomeric allyloxy-substituted ozonides 4, which were converted into diozonides 7 by ozone treatment. Substitutions of 3 with ethanediol or with 1,3-propanediol gave the corresponding hydroxyalkoxy-substituted ozonides 8, 14, which were oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes 10, 16. Reaction of 3,5-dichloro-3,5-bis(chloromethyl)-1,2,4-trioxolane (1a) with ethanediol gave the corresponding bis(hydroxy)-substituted ozonide 19 as well as a bicyclic ozonide 18 by reaction of 1a with ethanediol in a ratio of 1:1.
