%X Chromate oxidation of isomuellitol (2) led cleanly to the production of a cyclic trione , 2,2,9,9,15,15-hexamethyl- 1,8,14-trioxatrispiro [4.1.4.1.4.l]octadecane-6,12,18-trione (4), but the product derived from hexahydromuellitol (3) was an unexpected &#947;-lactone, 4-hydroxy-2,4-bis(3&#8242;-methylbutyl )-3-(4&#8243;-methyl-1&#8243;-oxopentyloxy)-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid (5).
