Synthesis of exo- and endocyclic enamino derivatives of 2-(3-arylprop-2-enoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones

Condensation of 2-acetylcyclohexane-1,3-diones with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of piperidine, pyrrolidine, hexamethyleneimine, or morpholine gave the corresponding 2-(3-arylprop-2-enoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones as the major products and 2-[3-aryl-1-cycloalkylaminoprop-2-en-1-ylidene]cyclohexane-1,3-diones as minor ones. Endocyclic enamino derivatives were synthesized in two steps through enol methyl ethers which reacted with amines. Endocyclic enamino derivatives of 2-(3-arylprop-2-enoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones containing an aryl group on the nitrogen atom readily underwent cyclization to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinoline-4,5-dione derivatives.     

Condensation of 2-acylcyclohexane-1,3-diones with aromatic aldehydes

Condensation of 2-propanoyl-, 2-butanoyl-, and 2-pentanoylcyclohexane-1,3-diones with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of secondary amines (diethylamine, pyrrolidine, morpholine, piperidine, and hexamethyleneimine) leads to the formation of the corresponding 2-[1-(dialkylamino)-2-alkyl-3-aryl-2-propylidene]cyclohexane-1,3-diones and derivatives of 4H-chromen-4,5(6H)-dione. A primary screening of some of the resulting enamino derivatives for fungicidal activity has been performed.

The debenzoylation of 2-[(amino)(benzoylamino)methylidene]cyclohexane-1,3-diones (addition products of cyclohexane-1,3-diones with benzoylcyanamide) affords the corresponding 2-diaminomethylidenecyclohexane-1,3-diones. The latter act as N,N-dinucleophiles in reactions with diethyl malonate in the presence of MeONa to form 6-hydroxy-2-(2,6-dioxocyclohexylidene)-1,2-dihydropyrimidin-4(3H)-ones.
