3-Methylcyclohex-2-enone Derivatives as Initiators of Cyclisation. Part 2. Monocyclisations to Six-membered Rings

Cyclisation of 3-methylcyclohex-2-enones and the derived epoxides containing alkene, alkyne, and aryl side-chains yields bicyclodecane derivatives when the alkene or alkyne is electronically biased towards six-membered ring formation and when the alkene is electronically unbiased.
