What is The Photo-oxidation of Hexamethylbenzene and Pentamethylbenzene by Singlet Oxygen about?

## Abstract In a two step reaction, hexamethylbenzene consumes two molecules of singlet oxygen to form epidioxy hydroperoxide **3**. The first step involves a [4 + 2]‐cycloaddition, which is followed by an ene‐reaction. The structure of the intermediary endoperoxide **2** has been established spectroscopically. Pentamethylbenzene reacts in the same way with singlet oxygen, albeit much more slowly. Two epidioxy hydroperoxides are formed in this case.
