Course of Aromatisation of 5-Alkyl/aryl-2-bromocyclohex-2-en-3-ol-1-ones to Corresponding 5-Alkyl/arylresorcinols

5-Alkyl/aryl-2-bromocyclohex-2-en-3-ol-1-ones on heating undergo aromatisation through dehydrobromination to the corresponding 5-substituted resorcinols.During the course of aromatisation of 2-bromo-5-methylcyclohex-2-en-3-ol-1-one (I) and 5-n-amyl-2-bromocyclohex-2-en-3-ol-1-one (II) a few intermediates have been isolated and characterised as IV, V, VI, VIII and IX.Similar studies on 2-bromo-5-phenylcyclohex-2-en-3-ol-1-one yields two structurally different products, one with no bromine (XI) and the other with bromine in position-2 (XII), besides 5-phenylresorcinol (XIII).
