Reaction of CH-acids with Michael acceptors in the presence of potassium carbonate. Syntheses of 6-acetyl- and 3,5-dialkylcyclohex-2-enones

The reaction of acetylacetone with α,β-enones in the presence of potassium carbonate affords 6-acetylcyclohex-2-enones. The assembly of two acetoacetate and one alkanal molecules gives 3,5-dialkylcyclohex-2-enones. Facile one-pot procedures for these reactions were developed.

An efficient synthesis of some 5-substituted-3-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ones using microwaves

3-Methyl-2-cyclohexenone and its 5-substituted-derivatives are prepared in high yields and short duration of time, using the microwave irradiation technique by the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate with eight different aldehydes and piperazine.

Recyclization of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives in acidic medium

The recyclization of 1,4-dihydropyridines in aqueous-alcoholic hydrochloric acid medium proceeds with cleavage of a C-N bond and pyridine ring opening. Cyclohexenone derivatives are formed as a result of the subsequent intramolecular crotonic condensation of the acyclic intermediate. The leaving carbonyl substituents depart simultaneously with recyclization, depending on the acidity of the reaction medium.

Dienediolates of Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids in Synthesis. Synthesis of Cyclohexenones and Polycyclic Ketones by Tandem Michael-Dieckmann Decarboxylative Annulation of Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids.

Substituted 2-cyclohexenones 4 to 7 and hexahydronaphthalenones and hexahydroindenones 13 to 18 are prepared by tandem Michael-Dieckmann addition of lithium dienediolates of acyclic and alicyclic unsaturated carboxylic acids to the lithium salts of the same or other unsaturated carboxylic acids.
