  • Oxidative rearrangement occurs on treatment with peroxytrifluoroacetic acid (caution! 90% H2O2) and BF3 etherate to give hexamethyl-2,4-cyclohexadienone: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 88, 1005 (1966); Org. Synth. Coll., 5, 598 (1973). Reaction with dimethyldioxirane, on the other hand, gives, as the major product, an unusual oxepane triepoxide: J. Org. Chem., 61, 7660 (1996):
