Abstract
3-Alkyl- and 3-aryl-5,5,6,6-tetramethyl-1,2,4-trioxanes 5 are prepared by reduction of the corresponding 5-bromomercuriomethyl compounds 4 obtained, after anion exchange, by intramolecular oxymercuriation of the hemiperacetals 3 formed from aldehydes and 2,3-dimethylbut-1-en-3-yl hydroperoxide 2; a ‘one pot’ procedure omitting the anion exchange and isolation of the organomercury(II) bromide 4 may be used.Keywords
