25. A similar arylation reaction has been observed in the rhodium carboxylate catalyzed reaction of 2-diazo-1,3-cyclohexanedione with fluorobenzene. 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione was obtained. Pirrung, M. C.; Zhang, J.; Lackey, K.; Sternbach, D. D.; Brown, F. J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60, 2112.
26. 4 under the standard conditions. Using HRMS, only masses corresponding to 2-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-3- benzyloxycyclohex-2-enone and 2-bromo-5,5-dimethyl-3-(3-methylbenzyloxy) cyclohex-2-enone were detected. No crossover products, 2-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-3- (3-methylbenzyloxy)cyclohex-2-enone and 2-bromo-5,5-dimethyl-3- benzyloxycyclohex-2-enone, were detected.
27. 3/Pyr. Burwell, R. I.; Shields, A. D.; Hart, H. H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1954, 76, 908. The starting optical purity determined by chiral gas chromatography was 87% S, 13% R. The yield of 6 was 78.6% S, 21.4% R determined by chiral HPLC. Hydrolysis of 6 was nontrivial. Several standard acid-catalyzed ether cleavage reactions proceeded with benzylic oxygen cleavage. Method 6 to 7 to 8 (Scheme 2) is uniquely suited for the present case and to the best of our knowledge is a novel process.
