The Bromination of Cyclohexanone‐2‐carboxamideCyclohexanone‐2‐carboxamide with bromine forms 6‐bromo‐cyclohexanone‐2‐carboxamide (2) or 2‐bromo‐cyclohexanone‐2‐carboxamide (3). Via Faworski‐rearrangement the reaction of 2 and ammonia or amines gives trans‐cyclopentanedicarboxamides (5a–f). 3 and thiourea form the aminothiazole derivative 6. Pyridinium salt 7 is formed by reaction of 2 and pyridine. 7 and phenylhydrazine form the phenyl‐indazolonoyl‐hydrazine 8. 1 and sodiumhypochlorite yield 2‐hydroxy‐cyclohexanone‐2‐carboxamide (9).
