Abstract
When 1-nitrocyclohexene (1) was treated with methyl 4-hydroxy-2- butynoate (2) in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran- tert-butanol at 0°C for 10 min, a tandem conjugate addition product, methyl cis-3a-nitrooctahydrobenzo[b]furan-Δ(3.α)-acetate (3a), was obtained in quantitative yield as a 55:45 mixture of the (Z)- and (E)-isomers. The scope and limitations of this reaction were examined. Some transformation reactions of 3a are also described.
