The synthesis is reported of the first simple geminal acyl-substituted cyclohexadienone, which is shown to undergo very easy deacylation with formation of a phenolic ring; similar cleavage, or a formal retro-Fries rearrangement, have so far prevented isolation of the analogous 4-acetyl-4-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.
