Abstract
Abstract Cyclohexene oxide reacted with n-butylpotassium unexpectedly to produce 2-butylcyclohexanone in a 10% isolated yield of its semicarbazone derivative. Based on previous literature, a three-part mechanism is proposed that implies that a yield greater than 33% is not possible. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
