Trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol was quantitatively converted into 3,3,6,6-tetrachloro-1,2-cyclohexanedione (2) by treatment with chlorine in dimethylformamide.The hydrate of the dione was oxidized by aqueous potassium permanganate to afford the title acid 1 in 91percent overall yield.An alternative low cost preparation was elaborated, providing 2 in 61-74percent yield starting from cyclohexanone in a three step procedure without isolation of intermediates.The reaction seqence involves substitution of α-dichloro- and trichlorocyclohexanones by sodium acetate in acetic acid and chlorination of the resulting 2-hydroxy- and 2-acetoxy-2-cyclohexenones in dimethylformamide.

A method is described for the synthesis of α,α-dichloroaldehydes, free from monochloroaldehyde, by chlorination of aldehydes or alcohols in dimethylformamide at 40-90 deg C.Results are reported for : (yield percent) propanal (90), butanal (78), pentanal (78), 3-methylbutanal (90), propanol (64), butanol (78), 3-methylbutanol (52), pentanol (66), 3,3-dimethylbutanol (86), hexanol (66), 2-phenylethanol (51), 3-phenylpropanol (54), 1,5-pentanediol , 1,6-hexanediol .Oxidative conversion (KMnO4, K2Cr2O7, H2O2-NaHCO3) into α,α-dichlorocarboxylic acids and methyl esters is discussed.
