Abstract

Vinylogous esters can be synthesized by a base-promoted Michael reaction concomitant with alkylation of the cyclic 1,3-dione substrate. The methodology provides a wide range of 2-substituted vinylogous esters in good to excellent yields.

Key words

vinylogous esters - cyclohexenones - Michael reaction - alkylation - diones

17 Synthesis of Vinylogous Esters; General Procedure: A flame-dried, round-bottomed flask was charged with cyclic 1,3-dione (1 mmol) and ethyl acrylate (1.3 mmol) in DMSO (5 mL). To this solution was added NaH or Cs₂CO₃ (1.2 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 80 °C for the indicated time. Upon completion of the Michael reaction (typically, TLC showed complete conversion of starting materials after 3 h of reaction), alkyl halide (1.2 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 80 °C for the indicated time (typically 1 h). Upon completion of the alkylation (TLC), the reaction mixture was acidified with 2 M HCl. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (4 × 20 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (petroleum ether–EtOAc) to give the pure product.
