262. A New Reaction of 1,2-Dioxetanes. Formation of 1,2,4-Trioxanes from Aldehydes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/hlca.19830660828

1,2-Dioxetanes bearing different 3-phenoxy substituents add to aldehydes to give 1,2,4-trioxanes in yields of 17-75 percent depending on the nature of the para-phenyl substituent.Illustrations of this new reaction are described.
