Abstract

1, 6-Diketones are somewhat more difficult to synthesize than other types of diketones. 1 Some symmetrical alkyl 1, 6-diketones have been synthesized via bimolecular reduction of alkyl vinyl ketones using sodium or magnesium. 2 Both alkyl and aryl symmetrical 1, 6- diketones are obtained by reacting cadmium alkyls with adipoyl chloride. 3 Siloxycyclopropanes, 4 1, 2-diacylcyclobutanes, 5 and the coupling of vinyl Grignards6 ...
