Priya V Frank, Balakrishna Kal

Abstract

A simple and environment friendly method for the preparation of substituted cyclohexenones by the well known Robinson’s annulation technique is reported. In this method the yields are high compared to the conventional methods carried out in solvent phase. The duration of the reaction is also considerably reduced.
