Abstract
Reaction of 2-cyclohexen-1-ones (3a-c) with tert-butyldimethylsilyl triflate and triethylamine gave selectively cross-conjugated dienol ethers (4a-c) except 3-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one (3d). Reaction of 6-(5-ethoxycarbonyl-3, 3-dimethyl-4-pentenyl-1)-2-cyclohexen-1-one (10) under the same reaction conditions gave rise to annelation affording to tricyclo [5.2.2.01, 5] undecenes (11) along with the throughconjugated dienol ether (12).
