Abstract
Bromination of the ketone II with Jacques' reagent afforded the dibromo ketone IV and the monobromo ketone V. On metal hydride reduction both bromo ketones gave the isomeric bromohydrins VIII, X, and XII the structures of which were established by standard reactions and by spectral evidence. Dehydrohalogenation of the bromo ketone V yielded the unsaturated ketone VII.
