Oxidations of 3-alkenyltetronic acids with dimethyldioxirane (DMD) and air: regioselectivity and formation of a spirotricyclic hemiketal endoperoxide lactone

Abstract
The endocyclic CC bond of 3-allyltetronic acid 1 can be selectively oxidised with dimethyldioxirane to give 3-allyl-3-hydroxydihydrofuran-2,4-dione 2 while 3-exo-alkylidenedihydrofuran-2,4-diones 9 are rapidly autooxidised to furnish the spirotricyclic hemiketal endoperoxide lactones 10.
