Under catalysis of NaOH or KOH adsorbed on glass wool and by using steam distillation, (20R,S)-4,4,5,14-tetramethyl-18,19-dinor-13,17-seco-5β,8α,9β,10α,14β-cholestane-13,17-dione (1) and 3,14-dioxo-14,15-seco-5α-cholestan-15-al (4) gave good yield (>59%) of the corresponding tricyclic compounds (8a, 8b and 10a) via a retro-Michael reaction at 250 °C. While 5-oxo-4-nor-3,5-secocholestan-3-oic acid (6) and ethyl 5-oxo-4-nor-3,5-secocholestan-3-oate (7) afforded low yield (<15%) of the retro-Michael cleavage products (12a, 12b) at the same conditions. Thus, the retro-Michael reaction worked well for 1,5-diketones and 1,5-keto aldehydes but gave poor yield for 1,5-keto esters and 1,5-keto acids.

The acylation of N-pyridinium ylids with acid chlorides or anhydrides yields C-acylated ylids which may be reductivaly cleared to yield P-diketones or P-keto esters, depending on the starting materials. The u.v., i.r., and N.M.R. spectra of the ylids are discussed.

The reaction of a 3-butenyl β-diketone with a catalytic amount of PdCl2(CH3CN)2 in dioxane at room temperature led to olefin hydroalkylation and formation of the corresponding 2-acylcyclohexanone in good yield as a single regioisomer. Deuterium-labeling experiments for the hydroalkylation of 7-octene-2,4-dione were in accord with a mechanism involving outer-sphere attack of the pendant enol on a palladium-complexed olefin to form a palladium cyclohexyl species, followed by palladium migration via iterative β-hydride elimination/addition and protonolysis from a palladium enolate complex. In comparison to a 3-butenyl β-diketone, reaction of a 4-pentenyl β-diketone with a catalytic amount of PdCl2(CH3CN)2 in the presence of CuCl2 led to oxidative alkylation and formation of the corresponding 2-acyl-3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone in good yield as a single isomer. Unactivated olefins tethered to less reactive carbon nucleophiles such as β-keto esters, α-aryl ketones, and even dialkyl ketones underwent palladium-catalyzed hydroalkylation in the presence of Me3SiCl or HCl to form the corresponding cyclohexanones in moderate-to-good yield with high regioselectivity.
