Popis: Hydrated ferric chloride, FeCl3·6 H2O, in a polar, hydroxylic solvent converted 2-alkylcyclopentanones directly into 2-alkyl-2-cyclopentenones on heating in the presence of air. Yields of isolated products were about 40 %. The scope of the reaction is discussed. With cupric chloride, chloroketones were formed as intermediates, which could be dehydrochlorinated to 2-alkyl-2-cyclopentenones in similar yields.
