Description

2,6-Dichlorophenethyl alcohol is a chlorinated primary alcohol. It undergoes intramolecular cyclization to form cyclohexenone. This reaction is catalyzed by the chloride ion and requires an intramolecular nucleophile such as methyl chloride or hydrochloric acid. The 2,6-dichlorophenethyl alcohol is functionalized by the addition of a chloride group to one of the hydroxyl groups. This functional group can then undergo an intramolecular cyclization with another molecule of 2,6-dichlorophenethyl alcohol in the presence of a chloride salt like silver chloride to produce cyclohexenone.
