75. It should be noted that 6 and 6′ are less effective catalysts compared to 8 and 8′, giving the catalytic product in very low yield. This observation could be justified considering the bulkiness of the adamantoyl group, which might prevent an efficient interaction between the sterically demanding enolate derived from 2 and the quaternary nitrogen. In fact, in the solid state a p-nitrophenolate counterion in catalyst 6 was found to be in a different position with respect to the quaternary nitrogen, compared to the same counterion in catalyst 8′, presumably due to the steric effects exerted by the adamantoyl group. For a discussion see ref 12h.
76. In the case of 5a and 5c, a small amount (<10%) of the corresponding α,β-unsaturated compounds was detected in the crude mixture, when 50% KOH was used as the base, which could be separated by chromatography from the major γ,δ-unsaturated compounds in both cases.
