There is a C axiom as mentioned at https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-modal/#MapRelBetModLog in Section 8. My question is: what can be said about the formula which is the converse of the C axiom? I have been trying to find out whether the converse to C has been considered as an axiom or whether it can be formally proved in some modal axiom system.

The converse of C,

◻◊A→◊◻A,

is known as the McKinsey formula; it does not have a first-order frame condition.

It has also been discussed on Math SE.
