Study of induced hypohalogenation of 1-alkyl(4-methylcyclohex-1-enyl)alkanones,and chemical transformations of the obtained compounds

Induced hydroxyhalogenation of alkyl cyclohexenyl ketones in the systems MHlg-HX or HHlg]-H₂O₂ or (NaClO) was performed and the optimal conditions of this reaction were elucidated. It is established that in the system in situ is induced a hypohaloid acid HClO or HBrO is produced that then enters into electrophilic addition at the ring double bond affording hydroxyhalo derivatives of the cycloaliphatic ketones. The alkyl cyclohexenyl ketone chloro(bromo)hydrines and the oxiranes obtained from them are very reactive compounds and can be used as initial compounds for the synthesis of many individual organic compounds
