Abstract

The ring transformation of cyclic ketones with a carbonyl function at the side chain under acetalization conditions (BF 3/ethylene glycol) was studied. The results suggested that this reaction proceeds via acetal pathway as a major course and hemiacetal pathway as a minor course. cis-Cyclohexane-1,2-diol was found to be more effective than ethylene glycol for this ring transformation.
