Abstract

Oxidation of spiroketones 3a-f with DDQ in dry benzene gave tropone derivatives 4a-f and DDHQ esters 5a-f (cis-cis isomer 6a-f, trans-trans isomer 7a-f). While the aryl substituted spirokeone 17a gave a 2:1 mixture of 19a and the corresponding trans-trans isomer, the aryl substituted spiroketones 17b-d gave exclusively cis?-cis? isomers 19b-d. Heating acid chloride of acid 9c with DDHQ resulted in compounds 4a and 7a, thus confirming the structures assigned. Mechanism of formation of these compounds has been rationalised. A detailed study of 2D 1H-1H COSY, 1H-13C COSY, HMBC and 2D NOESY of compound 7d led to complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR signals and its solution conformation.
