Abstract

4-Chlorocyclohexyl phenyl ketone was isolated from the reaction of cyclohexene with benzoyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride and the structure of the chloro ketone proven by independent synthesis. The initial reaction in the presence of benzene gave 4- phenylcyclohexyl phenyl ketone. 2-Chlorocyclohexyl phenyl ketone rearranged to 4- chlorocyclohexyl phenyl ketone in the presence of aluminum chloride.
