About this document
Hydration and Rearrangement of Dicyclopentadiene by manuel querol is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Dicyclopentadiene undergoes hydration and rearrangement when treated with dilute sulfuric acid to form an unsaturated secondary alcohol rather than normal hydration products. 2. This rearranged alcohol is hydroxy-dihydro-nor-dicyclopentadiene, which can be oxidized to form the corresponding unsaturated ketone, dihydro-nor-dicyclopentadienenone. 3. The ketone is entirely different than a known ketone previously derived from dicyclopentadiene, indicating that rearrangement of the ring structure occurs
