Procedure

Using the equipment from Example 15, 1500 ml cyclohexanone was charged to the flask with 100 g aluminum oxycarbonate. The flask was heated to an initial boiling point of 142 degrees C. Water evolved quickly and the temperature rose to 200 degrees C. in three hours. The fluid was decanted and distilled yielding unreacted cyclohexanone along with cyclohexylidene cyclohexanone and the higher condensation product C18H26O believed to be dicyclohexylidene cyclohexanone.
