Abstract
A good Michael acceptor, 3,5-bis(methylidene)-2,6-heptanedione, was obtained in 31 % yield by the reaction of 2,4-pentanedione with formaldehyde derived from the decomposition of DMSO. Various primary amines underwent Michael addition with 3,5-bis(methylidene)-2,6-heptanedione, followed by intramolecular aldol condensation in a one-pot reaction to yield bicyclic products, N-substituted-8-methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-7-en-6-ones, with yields ranging from 32 % to 64 %. Reactions with sterically hindered amines resulted in bicyclic products with yields lower than 10 %, and reactions with aromatic amines did not yield the bicyclic products. The reaction of benzylthiol as a nucleophile gave 4,6-bis(benzylthiomethyl)-3-methyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-one with a yield of 47 %.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
