Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 114 g (1 mole) of allyl tert.-butyl ether and 29.2 g (0.2 mole) of di-tert.-butyl peroxide was added over 2 hours to 980 g (10 moles) of cyclohexanone at 140° C., while stirring, and the mixture was then kept at the same temperature for a further hour. Working up the reaction mixture by distillation gave 2-(3-tert-butoxy-prop-1-yl)-cyclohexanone in 60% yield.
