AbstractThe stability of 2,6‐dibenzalcyclohexanone (V) and 2,5‐dibenzalcyclopentanone (VI) has been discussed. Twenty‐seven examples of aromatizationlike reaction of 2,6‐dibenzalcyclohexanone and 2,5‐dibenzalcyclopentanone have been studied. Aromatization of 2,6‐dibenzalcyciohexanone has been realized by both indirect and dir
