A 3-step asymmetricapproach toward the optically active chiral cyclohex-2-enones from anisoles has been developed. The crucial asymmetric induction step is an unprecedented catalytic enantioselective isomerization of β,γ-unsaturated cyclohex-3-en-1-ones to the corresponding α,β-unsaturated chiral enones. This new asymmetric transformation was realized by cooperative iminium-base catalysis with an

Enamines, prepared readily from various carbonyl compounds, react with acetals or trialkyl orthoformates in the presence of Lewis acids such as BF3·OEt2 to give corresponding β-alkoxy carbonyl compounds or α-dialkoxymethyl carbonyl compounds in good yields. The reaction of dienamines with acetals or trialkyl orthoformates also selectively gives corresponding β,γ-unsaturated α-(α-alkoxyalkyl) carbonyl compounds
The present invention provides non-steroidal compounds of formula I which are selective modulators (i.e., agonists and antagonists) of a steroid receptor, specifically, the glucocorticoid receptor. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and methods for using these compounds to treat animals requiring glucocorticoid receptor agonist or antagonist therapy. Glucocorticoid receptor modulators are useful to the diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, inflammation and others as described below. The present invention also provides intermediates and processes for preparing these compounds.

1-Phenylseleno-2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)ethyne (1) is an effective dienophile and dipolarophile. It underwent facile Diels-Alder reactions with a variety of dienes to afford vicinal sulfone- and selenide-functionalized 1,4-cyclohexadienes. Unexpected regiochemistry that is the opposite of what is obtained with simple acetylenic sulfones was observed with several unsymmetrical dienes containing methyl or methoxy substituents at the 1- or 2-position. Acetylene 1 reacted with (trimethylsilyl)methyl azide, diazomethane, and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzonitrile N-oxide via 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to afford the corresponding triazole, 1,2-diazole, and isoxazole products. It also underwent an ene reaction with beta-pinene that showed anomalous regiochemistry compared to other acetylenic sulfones. The Diels-Alder cycloadducts obtained from the reaction of 1 with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3,butadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene were readily converted into the corresponding beta-keto sulfones and ketones, thus rendering 1 as the synthetic equivalent of p-toluenesulfonylketene and ketene, respectively. Base-catalyzed elimination of TsOH from the Diels-Alder cycloadduct obtained with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene afforded the corresponding aryl phenyl selenide, while the adduct from piperylene underwent oxidation to its selenoxide, followed by a Pummerer-type reaction to produce 2-(phenylseleno)-3-(p-toluenesulfonyl)toluene. The reaction of the bicyclic Diels-Alder product obtained from 1,3-cyclohexadiene with MeCu(SePh)Li resulted in substitution of the phenylseleno moiety by a methyl group, whereas similar treatment, of the monocyclic adduct derived from piperylene effected elimination of PhSeH and aromatization.
