Abstract
2-Alkyl cyclohexenones are useful intermediates for organic synthesis. The Wittig reaction of a series of aldehydes with (cyclopropylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide delivered the corresponding alkenyl cyclopropanes. UV irradiation in the presence of Fe(CO)5 converted the alkenyl cyclopropanes to the 2-substituted cyclohexenones. This approach enabled a three-step synthesis of the tricyclic core of estrone methyl ether.Entities:
