Abstract

Abstract Several cyclohexanones have been converted, via cyclohexylidenebutyric acids, into 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-hexa-hydronaphthalen-1 (2H)-ones in good yield. Cyclododecanone gives bicyclo [10, 4, 0] hexadec-1 (12)-en-13-one. Heating 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8- hexahydronaphthalen-1 (2H)-one with polyphosphoric acid gives 1, 2, 3, 4- tetrahydronaphthalene, but the 7-methyl octalone gives the 2-and 6-methyl tetralins. ...
