| Abstract: | 6-Phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-2-pyridone ( 6 ), 1-phenyl-3-isoindolone, and their methanol ( 5 ) and butanol ( 19 ) addition products, as well as 6-methoxy-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-2-piperidone ( 4 ) and 1-methoxy-3-isoindolinone ( 11 ) were prepared and their chemical properties studied. The cyclic acylimines and their methanol addition products were found to react with weak nucleophiles (amides, alcohols), active methylene compounds (acetone, dimedone) or dienes (1,2,3,4-tetramethyl and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene) to give addition products. |
