Abstract

I1 chromatography showed to be pure (2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, mp 150-152'; reported6 mp 154-155'). The yield of distilled product? based on the imine used was 80%. In similar fashion, the cyclohexylimine from cyclohexanone gave with butyl iodide 78% of 2- butylcyclohexanone; with butyl toluene sulfonate, 80% of 2-butylcyclohexanone; with allyl bromide,
