Über die Autoxydation von Bicyclo[2,2,2]octen

On the Autoxidation of Bicyclo[2,2,2]octene During the autoxidation of bicyclo[2,2,2]octene at 90°C about 50% of epoxide are obtained. The most important byproduct obviously is a polymeric peroxide. From the acidic products formed in low amounts, cis-1, 4-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid could be isolated as the corresponding dimethyl ester.
