Abstract

The stereochemistry of cyclisation of the phenylhydrazones of some αβ-unsaturated ketones is discussed in terms of a stereoselective enamine-imine tautomerism step. Cyclisation of the phenylhydrazone of 1-acetyl-4-t-butyl-cyclohexene results in an initial axial attack of the nitrogen nucleophile on the six-membered ring.
