Oxidation of 2-alkyl- and 2-aryl-1,3-benzodioxoles with lead tetraacetate gives products mainly derived from cleavage of the dioxole ring.Formation of products is suggested to follow initial attack and hydrogen abstraction at the 2-position of the benzodioxole.Subsequent reactions then occur to give the observed products.The processes are seen as free radical reactions.
