✦ Synopsis
We have developed a stereoselective route to 13-hydroxycyclohexanones using the aldol reaction, the Takai alkylidenation, a novel anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of acyclic enol ethers and an intramolecular aldol reaction. The stereoselectivity of the acid-induced, 6-(enolendo)-exo-trig, intramolecular, aldol reaction between an aldehyde and an enol ether has been investigated. The strong preference for an axial hydroxyl in the 13-hydroxycyclohexanone products is explained in terms of an electrostatic interaction in the oxonium ion intermediate.
