Abstract

A novel method for synthesizing 3-acetoxyaniline derivatives from substituted cyclohexane- 1, 3-diones is described. This synthetic process includes regioselective formation of cyclohexane-1, 3-dione monooximes 2 and their Semmler–Wolff-type aromatization under very simple reaction conditions.
