(2E,6E)-2,6-Bis(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene)-cyclohexanone

Abstract

The title compound, C 20H 14Cl 4O, was prepared by the reaction of 2,6-dichloro-benzaldehyde and cyclo-hexa-none. In the mol-ecule, the central cyclo-hexa-none ring adopts an envelope conformation, while the terminal benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 57.87 (9)°.
