Abstract

Exhaustive chlorination of phenol and some substituted phenols in acetic acid yielded chlorinated cyclohexenone derivatives. 3, 5-Dimethylphenol gave a chlorinated cyclohexadienone. The structures of these compounds were elucidated mainly by IR, UV and NMR spectroscopy. A simple reaction mechanism is proposed.
