Dypnopinacol. Part II. Tautomerism of 4-methyl-2,4,6-triphenylcyclohexa-2,6-dienyl phenyl ketone (isodypnopinacolone)
Abstract
Base-catalysed tautomerisation of 4-methyl-2,4,6-triphenylcyclohexa-2,6-dienyl phenyl ketone (isodypnopinacolone) gives an equilibrium mixture containing 9% of α-homodypnopinacolone. This second ketone is shown to be t-4-methyl-2,c-4,6-triphenylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-r-1-yl phenyl ketone.
