Abstract
Ring-opening reactions of a number of halogen-substituted 3-phenylcyclobutenones in acetic acid and in aqueous sodium hydroxide have been investigate and the resulting carboxylic acids identified. The course of reaction in acetic acid can be rationalized by a mechanism involving vinylketene intermediates. The base-induced ring-opening reaction appears to follow a course dependent on the number and location of the halogen atoms but is generally similar to the haloform reaction.
