| dc.description.abstract | The reaction of ozone with cis-- and trans-'decalin in
the Liquid phase has been investigated. Neutral and acidic
products have been identified and quantitatively estimated
by gas+Li.quid chromatographic analysis s, The effects of
temperature~ solvents and irradiation on product formation
have been examined, and in addition changes caused by the
presence of a typical autoxidation catalyst and inhibitor
have been followed. Reaction has been carried out with various
ozone concentrations and in the absence of oxygen.
The major products obtained result from reaction at
the bridgehead carbon=hydrogen bonds, and botn cis- and txcane-srdecalol
are obtained from cis-decalin and from trans-decalin.
A mechanistic scheme to account for the formation of
both 9decalols f!~m trans-decalin il;!proposed which
postulates the formation of a relatively stable tertiary
hydrotrioxide intermediate which subsequently reacts with
ozone by a radical process. The hydrotrwxide from cis-decalin,
however, is regarded as unstable and.is assumed to collapse
mainly to cis-9-'decalel before reaction with ozone occurs. | en |
