Abstract

Abstract Until now, 2, 6-dialkyltropones have not been described. 2, 6-Dimethyltropone (5) represents an appropriate material for synthesis of naturally occurring antiviral compounds. A new, convenient method for synthesis of 2, 6-dimethyltropone (5) from 2, 6- dimethylcyclohexanone in five optimized steps and 52% overall yield has been developed. Trimethylsilyl enol ether 1, prepared from 2, 6-dimethylcyclohexan-1-one, was treated with ...
