Direct 4-Alkylation of 1,3-Cyclohexanediones via Dianionic Species

Abstract
1,3-Cyclohexanediones are directly alkylated at the 4 position via dianionic species generated at - 78°C using lithium diisopropylamide/hexamethylphosphoric triamide. Acetylation of the reaction products at room temperature yields the 3-acetoxy-6-alkylcyclohex-2-enones selectively.
