Abstract
1,4-Diketones are produced on treatment of monoketones with nickel peroxide; reaction occurs more readily with cyclic than with acyclic ketones, except in the case of activated (e.g. benzylic) ketones, and less readily at a branched site. Cyclohexanone gives, in addition to bicyclohexyl-2,2′-dione, variable amounts of 2-(cyclohex-1-enyloxy)cyclohexanone via the enol form of the ketone.Keywords
