Abstract

Treatment of the 3-halo-2-cyclohexen-1-ones 11-15 and 17 with an excess of lithium dimethylcuprate provided good to excellent yields of the corresponding 3, 3- dimethylcyclohexanones 21-24. Similar reactions involving the β-bromo cyclopentenones 19 and 20 stopped at the monoaddition stage, producing the cyclopentenones 40 and 43. Reaction of the β-bromo cyclohexenones 12 and 15 with 1.1 equiv. of lithium ...
