HCID 1109982-MethoxycyclohexanoneYield 90%

Procedure

2-methoxycyclohexanone was prepared by dissolving 30 gm. 2-chlorocyclohexanone in 160 ml. methanol and heating the solution in a sealed vessel at 125° C. for approximately four hours. The reaction mass was then cooled and the methanol removed by distillation at reduced pressure. After most of the methanol was distilled off, the residue containing the 2-methoxycyclohexanone was diluted with methylene chloride and extracted with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. After distillation a yield of 90-95% 2-methoxycyclohexanone was obtained.
