Ozonolytic cleavage of o-dimethoxybenzene derivatives to dimethyl Z, Z-muconates is satisfactorily controlled by the addition of boron trifluoride etherate as a regulator. By this oxidation, 3, 4-dimethoxybenxyl alcohol gave an α-pyrone derivative (6) and erythrinan derivatives gave D-seco-erythrinans in appreciable yields.
