The synthetic equivalence of 6-methyl-2-vinylpyridine with 3-vinylcyclohex-2-en-l-one has been demonstrated. The vinylpicoline is attached at theposition a to a ketone by Michael addition. The cyclohex-2-en-l-one system bearing the substituent RCH2 at the3-position is elaborated from the 2-picoline bearing the substituent RCH2 at the6-position by a se-quence involving metal-ammonia reduction, hydrolysis, and aldolization. An efficient conversion of the Wieland-Miescher ketone to iTZ-D-homoestrone, via this strategy is described.The synthetic logic inherent in the methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) approach to the construction of cyclohexenones2" 4 has found extensive application in the synthesis of polycyclic natural products. While a wide assortment of variations has been introduced into the framework of this strategy, such annelations are characterized bytwo stages. The first involves the merger of an enolate (or enol) nucleophile with the electrophilic terminus (E) of an annelating agent. The agent is so constructed that the carbon-bearing function X is transformable to a ketone. In the final stage, a 1, 5-hexanedione system undergoes intramolecular aldolization. In this cyclization, the nucleophilic enolate (or enol) is derived from the annelating agent, while the receptor carbonyl group arises from what was originally the nucleophile. The modifications have dealt primarily with variations in the nature of the electrophilic terminus and with new meth-ods for unraveling the 1, 5-hexanedione requiredfor cyclization.
