Abstract
Ozonolysis of (alkenyldioxy)cyclododecyl hydroperoxides in trifluoroethanol gave a separable mixture of the corresponding a-hydroperoxy- and a-hydroxy-substituted spiro-tetraoxacycloalkanes with ring sizes in the range 7-12. Dehydration of the hydroperoxides or oxidation of the hydroxy-compounds afforded the corresponding peroxylactones. The solid-state structure of 1,2,6,7-tetraoxaspiro[7.11]nonadecan-3-one was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
