1-cyclohexylprop-2-en-1-one

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To the stirring solution of N-methyl-N-methoxy-cyclohexanecarboxamide (0.05 mol, 8.5 g) in 150 ml anhydrous THF at −10-0° C. (ice-NaCl bath) the solution of vinyl magnesium bromide (1M in THF, 0.1 mol, 100 ml) was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h (white solid formed), then at rt for 4 h (the solid dissolved). The resulting solution was added slowly by cannula into a well-cooled Erlenmeyer flask equipped with magnetic stirrer and thermometer, containing 0.5 L saturated aqueous NH4Cl, with such speed that the temperature stays between 0° C. and +10° C., at vigorous stirring. At higher temperatures oligomerization of the product occurs. The phases were separated; the aqueous one extracted with EtOAc (3×100 ml), and the combined organic extracts were washed with sat. aq. NH4Cl until pH<7 (5×50 ml, carefully removing all the N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine product), then washed with brine (100 ml), dried with Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum >80 mbar (taking care not to evaporate the volatile product). Yield 11.8 g of yellow oil containing pure vinylcyclohexylketone.

Procedure: By sequential reaction of diethyl 2-amino-2-methylnonanedioate with cyclohexyl vinyl ketone, sodium borohydride, and cyanic acid according to the general procedure described in Example 105, 5-(6-carboxyhexyl)-1-(3-cyclohexyl-3-hydroxypropyl)-5-methylhydantoin was obtained as a mixture of diastereomers. Separation by high performance liquid chromatography gave the individual racemic diastereomers as colourless gums, the less polar isomer having Rf. 0.52 relative to Rf. 0.48 for the more polar isomer on SiO2 in chloroform-methanol-acetic acid 90:5:5. The less polar isomer gave characteristic 'H n.m.r. signals at δ9.34 (1H, broad singlet, exch., NH), 5.83 (2H, broad singlet, exch., CO2H and OH), 3.6, 3.3 and 3.1 (3H, three multiplets, C-13 protons and C-15 methine), 2.31 (2H, triplet, CH2 adjacent to CO2H) and 1.39 (singlet, isolated CH3) in CDCl3. The more polar isomer gave characteristic 'H n.m.r. signals at δ9.23 (1H, broad singlet, exch., NH), 5.73 (2H, broad singlet, exch., CO2H and OH), 3.38 (3H, multiplet, C-15 methine and C-13 protons), 2.32 (2H, triplet, CH2 adjacent to CO2LH) and 1.40 (singlet, isolated CH3) in CDCl 3.
