On the Stereochemistry of Diaryl-Substituted Cyclohexanones Formed by Michael Reactions. Trans to Cis Isomerization of Their Ketals under Basic Conditions
摘要:
The stereochemistry of C-1-substituted 2,6-diphenylcyclohexan-4-ones 1-3 prepared by Michael reactions has been investigated. While preparations of these compounds have been reported over the past 70 years, in many instances the correct stereochemistry at C-2 (6) and, in some instances at C-1, was uncertain. We show here that in one case in which two identical substituents (CN) are present at C-1, it is possible to isomerize the initially formed trans isomer Id to the cis isomer 3f. When a cyano group and a dissimilar substituent are present at C-1, the initially formed trans isomer may be isomerized to the cis compound. The stereochemistry is vertified by NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray analysis. Reaction of the ethylene ketals (4 and 5) of these ketones with KOH in DMSO at elevated temperatures gives rise to cis products, and deuterium-labeling studies demonstrated the acidity of the benzylic hydrogen at C-2 (6). Isomerization was evident since the trans ketal 4a and the cis ketal 4b gave the same amide 6a. H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra provided conclusive evidence for the cis - trans rearrangement.

The stereoselective synthesis of 4-oxo-2,6-diaryl-cyclohexane-1,1-dicarbonitriles has been developed through doubleMichaeladdition of malononitrile to 1,5-disubstitutedpentadien-3-ones catalysed by quinine. This simple cascade process affords cyclohexanones in moderate-to-good yields, excellent diastereoselectivity and up to 86 % ee. The isolation of the monoaddition product helps to shed light

9-Amino-9-deoxyepiquinine efficiently catalyzed the double-conjugate addition of malononitrile to dienones. A number of 1,1,2,6-tetrasubstituted cyclohexanones were prepared in good yields, diastereoselectivities, and excellent enantioselectivities.
