β¦ Synopsis
The steric and electronic influences of.subs.ituen 'j attached to he arbonyl system on the success of the reaction o 1 1,2-$lketones with $imethyl 3-ketoglutarate 2. have been examined.
It is clear from the reaction of 2 with benzil, thienil. furil. and phenanthrenequinone 1. respectively, coupled with 13c NMR spectroscopy of the reaction intermediates, that steric effects play a major role in the overall success of the reaction to provide 4. This is analogous to the situation observed earlier with 1,2-diketones, R-CO-CO-R, where R represented an aliphatic or alicyclic group.
