A mixture of 165 mg (0.75 mmol) of trans-1,2-diacetoxy-1,2-dihydrobenzocyclobutene and 160 mg (0.50 mmol) of rac-3-acetoxy-3-acetyl-1,1-ethylenedioxy-1,2,3,4,5,8-hexahydro-5,8-dioxonaphthalene [prepared as described in Example 7(A)] in 15 ml of xylene was stirred and heated under reflux under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 16 hours. The solution was evaporated to dryness and the yellow residue was stirred with 5 ml of diethyl ether and filtered to give 119 mg (57%) of rac-3-acetoxy-3-acetyl-1,1-ethylenedioxy-1,2,3,4,5,12-hexahydro-5,12-dioxonaphthacene in the form of a bright yellow solid of melting point 232°-236° C.
