Formation of cyclic peroxides 2a,2b, and 2c from the reactions of 2,3-dimethylene-2,3-dihydrofuran (1a) and the 5-methyl (1b) and 5-tert-butyl (1c) derivatives with triplet oxygen is reported. Thermolysis of cyclic peroxide 2c gives dialdehyde 5, hydroxy aldehydes 6 and 7, and diol 8 as products. 1 fig.
