Abstract

Several additional examples are given to show that the keto-enol acetates (or benzoates) formed by the reaction of cis.~ 2, 6-dibromocyclohexanones and sodium acetate arise by (a) displacement of bromine to form a cis-2-acetoxy-6-bromocyclohexanoneJ and (b) lJ3- elimination of hydrogen bromide accompanied by acyl migration. Evidence is presented to show that acyl migration does not precede loss of bromide ion. Proton magnetic ...
