On the Anodic Dehydrodimerization of Triacylmethanes: Synthesis and Reactions of Substituted 4,7,8-Trioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octenes ß-Tricarbonylic compounds 1 can be oxidized anodically in acetonitrile containing some triethylamine. Dependent on the substitution pattern of the starting material one obtains C,C- or C,O- coupling products. These represent the new ring system of trioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octenes 3, which react with electrophiles and nucleophiles yielding tricyclic systems, whereas under hydrolytic conditions furans 14 may result.
