INTRODUCTION The investigation of the physical properties and reactions of oC-ha loke tones has led to the discovery of many interesting features of these compounds which have two strong dipoles in close proximity.* A variety of different reaction pathways apparently are available for the <*-haloke tones to lose halogen, for acids (l) or their derivatives (2 ), epoxides (3) or acetals (4 ), saturated ketones (5 ), ^-substi tuted ketones (6), and o£-ethylenic ketones (7) have been isolated from such reactions. The relative importance of the factors which govern the particular pathway that the dehalogenation will follow have not been evaluated so that it is often difficult, if not impossible, to predict which type or types of compounds vvill arise as products from a given reaction of a ed-haloketone. These factors include such variables as; the structure (8) and conformation (9) of the oi-haloketone, the nature of the reagent (1 0 ), the solvent medium (1 1 ), the nature of the halogen (1 2 ), and the reaction conditions (1 3 ). Although numerous acyclic, carbocyclic, aromatic, and aliphatic et-haloke tones have been studied, heterocyclic oC-haloketones have not been investigated to any great extent. In view of this, a study of the effect of a heterocyclic *0ne important series of investigations concerning the conformation of cyclic tf-haloketones is not pertinent to this Thesis but is reviewed (15) elsewhere. 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

The latter advantage is particularly true of any 4 ,4 -disubstituted piperidines which could result from this study. Considerable interest, in recent years, has developed in this class of compounds since the discovery of their value as synthetic pharmaceuticals (14). The synthesis and reactions of l-methyl-4-halo-4- piperidyl phenyl ketone (XIII) and its derivatives are herein described. Reactions characteristic of organic halogen and carbonyl compounds using nucleophilic, organometallic, and homolytic agents were investigated, and the way in which the influence of the heterocyclic ring system and the unreactive dipole altered the properties of the dipole under going reaction, was demonstrated.
