title: Santonic acid: Zn-HCl-ether reduction and ceric ammonium nitrate oxidation.
abstract: Reduction of santonic acid using Zn-HCl-ether yielded succinic anhydride derivatives via pinacolisation followed by rearrangement, whereas oxidation of santonic acid using ceric ammonium nitrate afforded five oxidative decarboxylation products. Dedicated to Prof. TBH McMurry.
