method has been developed for the direct preparation of 3-aryl-1,2-cyclohexanediones from 2,3-epoxycyclohexanone via a microwave-assisted tandem epoxy ketone isomerization−Heck arylation reaction. The preparative microwave-assisted reactions were performed preferentially in 50% aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) utilizing sodium acetate as the base.

Oxidative cycloaddition of a 2-cyclohexenone or alpha-tetralone and an alkene with dried Mn(OAc)(3) in benzene at 80-140 degrees C provides a general route to dihydrobenzofurans 15 and dihydronaphthofurans 17. Although the yields are modest, this one-pot reaction provides simple access to these compounds, which have previously been prepared by multistep routes. Oxidative cycloaddition of 2-cyclohexenones with beta-methylstyrenes provides a new route to benzofuranoid neolignans, which was applied to the synthesis of conocarpan (22). The formation of 2-acetoxyhexanedioic acids 27 and 47 from acetoxylation of 2-cyclohexenones in HOAc, but not in benzene, opens up a new class of Mn(OAc)(3) reactions and explains Watt and Demir's discovery that much higher yields of alpha'-acetoxy enones are obtained in benzene than in HOAc.

The reduction of cyclic and acyclic 1,2-diketones was investigated by employing whole cells of the yeast Rhodotorula minuta as biocatalyst. The reactions showed a variable degree of regio- and enantioselectivity depending on the nature of the substrate. In the case of cyclic diketones, the reduction afforded a mixture of diastereomeric diols only. The reduction of acyclic diketones allowed production of both the hydroxy ketone and the diol, in a two-step reaction. The first step was highly regio- and stereoselective, affording the hydroxy ketone of (S)-configuration with high enantiomeric excess. After longer reaction times the corresponding (S,S)-diols were obtained in high yield and diastereomeric excess.
