Cyclopentanone → Benzene, 1-cyclopenten-1-yl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same experiment as in Example 2 was carried out, except for using 2.5 g (0.03 mol) cyclopentanone instead of 1.74 g of acetone. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography to confirm that the target 1-hydroxy-1-phenylcyclopentane and phenylcyclopentene were obtained in a yield of 90% in total.
