Alpha Cleavage of cyclohexanone
« on: April 13, 2013, 08:30:23 PM »
I'm having trouble coming up with a mechanism for the alpha cleavage of cyclohexanone. I tried cutting the bond between the carbonyl carbon and the alpha carbon and opening up the ring, forming a triple bond between the carbonyl carbon and the oxygen. Is this correct?

Not enough information. Product? Reagents? Conditions?

The reaction started with cyclohexanol and was oxidized into cyclohexanone with sodium hypochlorite and acetic acid. I just need to know how to do alpha cleavage of cyclohexanone though
