endo-9-Oxatetracyclo2.6.08.10>undec-3-ene (2) has been selectively prepared by the oxidation of endo-dicyclopentadiene (1) with chromium trioxide in acetic acid.On the other hand oxidation of 1 by pyridinium chlorochromate furnishes a 1 : 1 mixture of α-chloroketones (3 and 4) in high yield.A plausible mechanism is advanced to explain the formation of 3 and 4.
