endo/exo isomerism in norcarane and 2-norcaranol hydrotrioxides (ROOOH).
Ozonation of norcarane (1) yielded endo and exo norcarane hydrotrioxides (2a, 2b), as characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. Further ozonation of the primary decomposition products of these hydrotrioxides, i.e., 2-norcaranols (3), produced the corresponding isomeric 2-norcaranol hydrotrioxides (4a, 4b), and hydrogen trioxide (HOOOH).
