The H and C NMR spectra were taken on a Bruker AM 300 instrument with an operating frequency
of 300.13 and 75.47 MHz for solutions in CDCl3, internal standard was Me4Si. The IR spectra were obtained on
a UR 20 instrument. A check on the purity of products was effected on a Chrom 4 chromatograph and on Silufol
UV 254 plates.
6-(Cyclohex-1-enyl)-2-methoxyaniline (6b). A mixture of amine 7b (10 g) and KOH (10 g) was kept
for 1 h at 300°C. After cooling, benzene (50 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, stirred, and decanted. After
evaporation of benzene the residue was distilled in vacuum. Product 6b (8.7 g) was obtained; bp 125-128°C

Ethoxycarbonylation of Compounds ( )-5, ( )-5, and 6a,b (General Method).
Potassium carbonate
(10 g) was introduced into solution of compound (Z)-5, (E)-5, or 6a,b (10 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 ml). Solution of
ethyl chloroformate (15 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (15 ml) was added dropwise with stirring at 20°C. The reaction
mixture was stirred for 2 h and kept for 16 h at the same temperature. The inorganic solid was filtered off,
washed with CH2Cl2 (2 × 10 ml), and the filtrate was washed with 10% aqueous NaHCO3 solution until
cessation of CO2 evolution, then with water, and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was distilled off, and the
product purified by distillation in vacuum.
