Abstract
A series of 4-alkenyl-1-methoxy-1,4-cyclohexadienes were prepared by tandem addition-multistep reduction procedure. This one-pot process included the addition of 4-methoxyphenyllithium to alkenyl aldehydes and ketones, followed by multistep reduction of the intermediate benzyl alkoxides with lithium-ammonia-alcohol. Subsequent acid hydrolysis, selectively afforded the corresponding 4-alkenyl-3-cyclohexen-1-ones
