Abstract
Abstract The uncatalyzed 1,4-addition of phenylmagnesium bromide and furylmagnesium iodide to methyl 5-methoxy-1,5-cyclohexadienylcarboxylate ( 1 ), directly followed by alkylation and hydrolysis leads to the corresponding cyclohexanones of type 2 (R1 and R2 trans) in moderate to high yield.
