On treatment with LiAlH4 at -30 deg C the polymeric ozonide of benzvalene (1) gives bicyclobutane-endo,endo-2,4-dimethanol (7).At higher temperatures cis-1,3-cyclobutanedimethanol (4) is formed.The stereochemical course of this unusual C-C hydrogenolysis has been elucidated by means of deuterated substrates.For this purpose a complete analysis of 1H NMR spectra of the labeled cis-1,3-cyclobutanedicarboxylic anhydrides 9a-c had to be carried out.The dialcohol 7 and its bismethyl ether 16 add thiophenol across the central bond to form the cis products 18 and 19, respectively.Acids or Ag+ ions isomerize 7 via cleavage of a lateral bond into the ethers 21.
