Abstract
Abstract The one-pot cyclization of 5-hexynoic acid to produce 3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenones proceeds in good yields (58–90%). 3-Hexynoic acid was converted to its acyl chloride with the aid of oxalyl chloride and was cyclized to 3-chloro-2-cyclohexenone upon addition of indium (III) chloride. Subsequent addition of alcohol nucleophiles led to the desired 3-alkoxy- 2-cyclohexenones.
