Unsymmetrical 1,6-diketones were obtained by the copper(II) bromide-lithium t-butoxide oxidation of 1,2-disubstituted 1,2-cyclohexanediols. The diols were easily prepared by the addition of Grignard reagents to 2-trimethylsiloxy-2-cyelohexenone followed by the hydrolysis and treatment of the resulting 2-hydroxycyclohexanones with the second Grignard reagents. Similarly, 1,5-Diketones were obtained using 2-trimethylsiloxy-2-cyclopentenone as a starting material.
