Diozonide of jojoba wax as intermediate for synthesis

Jojoba wax reacts with ozone yielding diozonide, which is a viable synthetic intermediate. The diozonide of jojoba wax is a white solid of low titre which decomposes violently around 110-120 C. We have studied several synthetic methods based on the diozonide, such as the preparation of dialdehyde; the corresponding dicarboxylic acid, and derivatives of the latter, such as metal soaps, esters and polyesters. Many additional paths may start from the diozonide intermediate and its derivatives.
