26. cis- and trans-Chloro vinyl ketones 3a undergo cyclization, respectively, thus a mixture of stereoisomers was employed in all other substrates 3b-o.
27. α′-Methyl-substituted β-chloro vinyl ketones 3b, 3g, and 3l are expected to enhance the competition between Michael reaction and alkylation due to the steric hinderance of a methyl group.
28. We are currently investigating the synthesis of β-keto thioketone of 7 to confirm the possibility of crossover between 5 and 8, or 6 and 7.
