A Convenient Synthesis of α,α'-Bis(substitutedbenzylidene)cycloalkanones

The Cp2TiPh2-catalyzed reaction of cyclopentanone or cyclohexanones with benzaldehydes brought about the cross-aldol condensation to give the corresponding 2,5-bis(substitutedbenzylidene)cyclopentanones or 2,6-bis(substitutedbenzylidene)cyclohexanones in good yields under milder conditions than those previously reported.

Isomerization of crystalline 1,2,3-tris(arylmethylene)cyclohexanes to 1,2,3-tris(arylmethyl)benzenes by gaseous hydrogen bromide

1,2,3-Tris(arylmethylene)cyclohexanes (eleven examples) are prepared by aldol condensation from aromatic aldehydes and cyclohexanones, followed by Wittig olefination. They are rearranged nearly quantitatively by gasous hydrogen bromide to 1,2,3-tris(arylmethyl)benzenes.
