Griesbaum coozonolysis

The Griesbaum coozonolysis is a name reaction in organic chemistry that allows for the preparation of tetrasubstituted ozonides (1,2,4-trioxolanes) by the reaction of O-methyl oximes with a carbonyl compound in the presence of ozone. Contrary to their usual roles as intermediates in ozonolysis and other oxidative alkene cleavage reactions, 1,2,4-trioxolanes are relatively stable compounds and are isolable.[1][2]

Mechanism

The oxime first reacts with the ozone to form the corresponding carbonyl oxide, which undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with the carbonyl molecule to form the tetrasubstituted ozonide.

If no carbonyl compound is used, the carbonyl oxide may dimerize and form 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes.
