Abstract

The reactions of 2, 2, 6, 6-tetrachlorocyclohexanone (1) with bases were examined. The uses of sodium alkoxide in dimethylformamide and formate salts in formic acid were found to afford 2-alkoxy-3-chlorophenols and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetrachlorocyclohexanol, respectively, in excellent yields. A facile synthetic route for 2-chlorocyclopentanone was also proposed.
