A mixture of exo- and endo-4,5-dihydro-dicyclopentadiene 5 and also pure endo-8,9-dihydro-dicyclopentadiene 7 and pure exo-dicyclopentadiene 10 was oxidized in the absence and in the presence of catalysts.The compounds containing the norbornene structure mainly gave the corresponding exo-epoxides.No catalytic effects were observed in the formation of these norbornene epoxides.Compound 7 containing only the cyclopentene structure mainly yielded the corresponding hydroperoxide 9.In this case a catalytic effect of epoxidation catalysts was observed : in the presence of such catalysts the epoxide was increased. The results obtained prove the mechanism of dicyclopentadiene oxidation proposed by us.
