✦ Synopsis
pToluenethiol/oxygen co-oxidation of 5-methylhepta-1,3,6-triene (2) gives inter alia only one (@) of four possible diastereoisomeric dioxolanes, and the threo-and erythro-isomers of the 1,4-addition product (l,O, 1,). The variation in relative yield= thiol concentration indicates that coupling of the allylic radical (2) with oxygen is reversible.
