Abstract
Alkylation of 4,4,6‐trimethyl‐2‐cyclohexenone (1) in toluene in the presence of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide proceeds smoothly to give high yields of compounds 2. Irradiation (λ= 366 nm) of the 6‐allyl‐4,4,6‐trimethyl‐2‐cyclohexenones 2a–c yields mixtures of the isomeric tricyclo‐nonanones 3 and 4, the product ratio depending on the substituent R' of the allylic side chain and on the solvent. The quantum yields for the cyclizations are given.
