Abstract

1, 1-Diphenylethylene, 1, 1-di-p-tolylethylene, 1, 1-di-p-anisylethylene and 1, 1-di(p-t-butylphenyl)- ethylene are converted in high yields (80-90%) into the corresponding 3, 3, 6, 6-tetraaryl-1, 2-dioxans in the presence of oxygen and catalytic amounts of antimony(v) chloride in dichloromethane at -40° to - 78° under irradiation from a tungsten lamp.
