Summary
The stereochemistry of the oxidation of 4-methyl-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride with peroxyacetic acid was studied, and by a series of transformations it was proved that the epoxide then formed has the ßconfiguration. The observed stereospecificity of the oxidation is explained on the basis of views on a predominant boat conformation for 4-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydrides.
