Abstract

Abstract The saturated endoperoxide derived from 6, 6-dimethylfulvene was shown to be a unique source of an allene oxide and a cyclopropanone: inter-and intramolecular trapping experiments provided permissive evidence that such intermediates are indeed operative in the thermal isomerizations of fulvene endoperoxides.
