Abstract

Abstract The reaction of cyclohexanones with copper(II) chloride gave polychlorinated cyclohexanediones directly in fairly good yields. With methylcyclohexanones, in general the type of product depends on the number of methylene groups between the carbonyl group and the methyl-substituted carbon in the starting material. A possible mechanism for the reaction is discussed.
