Abstract

The specific transformation of a 2,6-diacetoxycyclohexanone into a cyclohexane-1,2-dione in the presence of acid or base, is described. Reduction of the 2,6-diacetoxy-ketone with sodium in butanol gives a 1,2-diol whose structure corresponds to that of the l,2-dione. The diols are useful intermediates in the synthesis of alkylhexane-1,6-dialdehydes.
