Abstract

Potassium superoxide in aprotic media, in the presence of 18-crown-6 ether, effects a novel and mild oxidative cleavage of quinones, cyclic alcohols, and ketones fused to various aromatic hydrocarbons. Aromatic 1, 2-dicarboxylic acids are obtained as major products, with highest yields in dimethylformamide, under oxygen or air. For example, the yield of pyrene-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid is 82% from 9, 10-dihydrobenzo [a] pyren-7 (8H)-one and 88 ...
