Abstract
Hydrated ferric chloride, FeCl~3~·6 H~2~O, 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.
