As an important building block, developing efficient and green synthesis strategy of cyclohex-2-enones is of great importance. In this present work, a general approach to the mild synthesis of substituted cyclohex-2-enones derivatives starting fro m simple aldehydes and acetone have been achieved via d-aminoacylase-initiated Aldol condensation/Robinson annulation cascade reaction using imidazole as

A facile and simpleroute for the direct preparation of substituted 3‐methylcyclohex‐2‐enone via Aldol‐Robinson cascade reaction of aldehydes and acetones catalyzed by the new catalytic system of L‐lysine/imidazole in n‐heptane with 0.5% water was reported. A variety of substrates can participate in the process efficiently. The merits of this method included inexpensive and easily available starting
A convenient organocatalytic process for the chemoselective synthesis of substituted cyclohex-2-enones was developed. The cascade reaction involves a remarkable Michael addition of an acyclic ketone-based enamine onto unmodified enones. The enamine-mediated aldol–Robinson cascade reactions of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with acetone produced substituted cyclohex-2-enones in moderate to high yields under mild reaction conditions.
A rapid method for the synthesis of meta-substituted alkoxybenzenes is achieved by oxidation of cyclohexenones. This one-pot transformation is catalyzed by molecular iodine with DDQ as an oxidant in the presence of alcohols. Diverse cyclohexenones with aryl or alkyl substitutes are well tolerated to the mild oxidative conditions affording desired products in up to 92% yield. These oxidizing processes

A tandem Aldol condensation/dehydration of aldehydes and ketones could be performed under D-aminoacylase and N-heterocyclic compounds used as co-catalyst in organic media Some control experiments have been designed to demonstrate that either acylase or N-heterocyclic compounds could not catalyze the tandem reaction The acylase showed the highest activity in the presence of imidazole and has been used to catalyze the tandem Aldol condensation/dehydration between different aldehydes and ketones This method has provided a new strategy to perform the tandem Aldol condensation/dehydration and expanded the application of biocatalysts (c) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
