(3) AtomicEnergy Commission Fellow, 1949-1950. tendency to rearrange to an internal position, 4 a method of synthesis was chosen that did not permit migration of one or both of the double bonds. Of the possible procedures that minimize rearrangements during the synthesis of olefins, 6 the pyrolysis of an ester was selected because of its simplicity. Thus a four-step synthesis for I was developed in an over-all yield of 77% startingwith the readily available diethyl phthalate (II). II was hydro-genated with Raney nickel at high pressure to a mixture of cis-and/rans-diethyl hexahydrophthal-ate (III). 6Ill was reduced with LiAlH, in high yieldsto the hexahydrophthalyl alcohol (IV). A satisfactory method for working up the reaction product was acidification with 10% hydrochloric acid followed by exhaustive extraction with ether. In a run in which 20% sulfuric acid was used, a 95% yield of the cyclic ether V resulted. IV was a mixture of isomers consisting ofmostly the cis modification from which the pure cis form or low melting form, mp 43-45, could be crystallized. The trans modification, or high melting form of hexahydro-phthalyl alcohol (IVb), mp 55-56, that has been reported by Adkins, 7 was prepared by first isom-erizing III to the pure trans form Ilia with NaOEt before reduction with LiAlH,. Thehexahydro-phthalyl diacetate (V), obtained by refluxing IVwith acetic anhydride, was cracked at 510-520 through a 300 by 25-mm., helix-packed column to a mixture consisting of 40 mole% of I, 35 mole% of the olefin acetate VI and 20% unchanged V. The yield of the cyclic diene I based on unrecovered V and VI was 89%. VI can be pyrolyzed to I under ap-proximately the same conditions in 90% yields based on unrecovered VI.
