- The trans-l,2-diacectoxycylcohexane was obtained by treating, a sample of trans-cyclohexane-l,2-diol5 with excess acetic anhydride in pyridine at room temperature.
- We would like to thank Professor Slayton Evans of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for supplying us with a generous sample of this material
- Infrared spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Model 1420 infrared spectrometer as either thin films or Nujol mulls. NMR spectra were obtained in CCl4, DCC13, or Me2SO-d6 solutions [(CH33)4SI internal standard] at 60 MHz with a Varian EM-360 spectrometer. Some of the mass spectra were obtained on a Hitachi Perkin-Elmer RMU-6E spectrometer. All boiling points and melting points are uncorrected, and melting points were recorded on a Fisher-Johns melting point apparatus. The organolithium reagents used for this work were purchased from Aldrich Chemical.
