Decyclization of chlorocyclohexanone hydroperoxides under the action of ferrous salts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01433747

The decomposition of 2-chloro-, 2,2-dichloro-, and 2,6-dichloro-substituted cyclohexanone hydroperoxides on treatment with ferrous chloride and sulfate to give chloro-substituted aliphatic acids was investigated. A method for the synthesis of 2,6,6-trichlorohexanoic and 2,6,7,11-tetrachlorododecane-1,12-dioic acids was elaborated.
