The reaction of organolithium with 2-alkyl-2-t-butylperoxycycloalkanones, readily available from t-butylperoxylation of 2-alkylcycloalkanones, gave 2-t-butylperoxy-1-cycloalkanol derivatives quantitatively, thermal decomposition of which with or without an acid afforded 1,n-diketones (n = 5-8) in excellent yields.
