30. In the absence of microwave irradiation, the use of water as solvent gives a messy reaction mixture containing 2 and. 6, along with starting diols and unidentified, products.

32. All reactions were performed, on racemic series; only one antipode is represented. The stereochemistry of the diol had no effect on the reaction, as demonstrated by control experiments where substrates with cis diols performed identically to substrates with trans diols. Ultrasonic conditions were probed for their likely helpful advantages, but to no benefit.

34. The stereochemistry at the secondary hydroxy groups at C2 and C3 is not important, as it is destroyed in the generation of [4π+2π] template i (Figure 1). 4
35. The low yields obtained in these reactions could be explained by the fact that the likely domino products from the epimeric contribution are sensitive to the workup and chromatographic conditions used.
36. That clearly means that oxidative cleavage under microwave irradiation is faster than hydrolysis of the reagent.
