Abstract A new route for the synthesis of 2-alkanoyl(aryloyl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-diones as cyclic β-triketones is described. This synthesis was conducted by the reaction of dimedone with cyanogen bromide and triethylamine to form first the intermediate salt, followed by the addition of various aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. The structures of the products were characterized by IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. A reaction mechanism is proposed.

This study presents a new method for synthesizing 2-alkanoyl(aryloyl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-diones by reacting dimedone with cyanogen bromide and triethylamine, followed by the
