%X Oxidation of 2-alkyl- and 2-aryl-1,3-benzodioxoles with lead tetraacetate gives products mainly derived from cleavage of the dioxole ring. Formation of products is suggested to follow initial attack and hydrogen abstraction at the 2-position of the benzodioxole. Subsequent reactions then occur to give the observed products. The processes are seen as free radical reactions.
