Synthesis of substituted cyclohexenyl-, cyclohexadienylarylamines

Reaction of 3-R-5-hydroxy-5-methyl-2,4-diethoxycarbonylcyclohexanones with aromatic amines afforded cyclohexenyl- and cyclohexadienylarylamines with electron-donor and electron-acceptor groups attached to aryl substituents. The structure of the reaction products was proved by IR,¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The study was carried out under financial support of the Competition Center of Fundamental Natural Sciences at St. Petersburg State University (grant no. 97-9.4-322).
