1,3-Cyclohexanedione derivatives

Novel cyclohexanone derivatives of general formula: STR1 (wherein R1 is a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 15 carbon atoms) and new cyclohexanone derivatives of general formula: STR2 (wherein R1 and R2 each is a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 15 carbon atoms) are produced by an electrooxidative coupling of 1,3-cyclohexanedione with a vinyl ether of general formula: (wherein R1 is as defined above) in the presence or absence of an alcohol of general formula: (wherein R2 is as defined above). These new cyclohexanone derivatives can be easily converted to N-substituted or unsubstituted-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles, which are of value as intermediates for the production of N-substituted or unsubstituted-4-hydroxyindoles and, thence, to pindolol and its analogs.
