The focus of this paper is on a ring construction Hn(R; σ) based on a given ring R and a Hochschild 2-cocycle σ. This construction is a unified generalization of the ring R[x]/(xn+1) and the Hochschild extension Hσ(R, R). Here we discuss when the ring Hn(R; σ) is reversible, symmetric, Armendariz, abelian and uniquely clean, respectively. Several known results of R[x]/(xn+1) and Hσ(R, R) are extended to Hn(R; σ), and new examples of reversible, symmetric and Armendariz rings are given.
