Abstract

The reaction of cyclooctene dibromide with silver acetate in dry acetic acid has been shown to yield 3-cycloocten-1-yl acetate, 4-cycloocten-1-yl acetate, cis-1, 4-cyclooctanediol diacetate, trens-1, 4-cyclooctanediol diacetate and only a small amount of the expected truns-1, 2-cyclooctanediol diacetate. The structures of the cyclooctenyl acetates have been elucidated by ozonolysis of the corresponding phenylurethans and reduction of the ...
