Abstract

When acetone, ethyl methyl ketone (EMK), and cyclohexanone were heated with manganese (III) acetate dihydrate in a mixed solvent of glacial acetic acid and acetic anhydride at 100° C, acetoxy ketones were obtained as common products. Furthermore, ketone dimers (1, 4-diketones) were obtained from acetone and cyclohexanone, which also gave 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydrodibenzofuran. When mixtures of these ketones and 1-hexene ...
