Participants

Reaction Steps

5.5 g of boron trifuloride/acetic acid complex was cooled with ice and a benzene solution of 2 g of 4-phenylcyclohexanone and 2.35 g of acetic anhydride was added thereto dropwise. After stirring under ice cooling for 30 min and then at room temperature for four hours, 10 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium acetate was added thereto and the obtained reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 1.5 hour and purified by extracting with ether to give 1.77 g of 2-acetyl-4phenylcyclohexanone. m.p.: 53-54° C. NMRδTMSDMSO-d6 : 1.90 (3H, m), 2.10 (3H, s), 2.50 (6H, m), 7.26 (5H, s) and 10.58 (1H, s).
