The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of
formation of an enamine from a ketone,
Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and
hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.
Consider the Stork reaction between cyclohexanone and propenal
Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between cyclohexanone and dimethylamine.
- Michael addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and
- hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone.
A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.
Show how you would prepare the following from the indicated starting materials. More than
one step is required. Show all the reaction products and the reaction conditions (reagents,
temperatures, pressures).
