Abstract: The reaction of several 2-amlnocyclohex-2-en-l-ones with cyclic nitroolefins has been explored as a possible synthetic approach to polyquinanes. 2? yrrolkiino, 2-piperidiuo and 2-morpholinocyclohex-2-en-1-one react with I-nitrocyclopentene to provide substituted triquinanes. Reactions involving 5.5 dimethyl-2-morpholinocyclohex-2-en-l-one were unsuccessful as were those using 4, 4-dimethyl-1-niuocyclopentene. 5-Methyl-2- ...
