EUP373531] were prepared from 2-(2-piperidyl)cyclohexenol, 2-(hexahydro- or tetrahydro-2-pyridyl)phenols, and 8-hydroxymethylperhy-droquinolines on treatment with aldehydes (76BCJ837 79JHC21 90EUP373531) or with a form of formaldehyde. 

Other reactions. Sml2 serves as an efficient catalyst for aldol, Michael, and Diels-Alder reactions. The reduction of phenols to a mixture of cyclohexanols and cyclohexenols by the Sml2-KOH system at room temperature is intriguing. 

H, A. Smith University of Tennessee)-. Dr. Siegel (Lecture 4) suggests that his experiments indicate that a cyclohexene-type intermediate is formed in the catalytic hydrogenation of benzene. Further evidence for this is found in the hydrogenation of phenols, for when these are reduced under a variety of conditions and over a number of catalysts, cyclohexanone is formed as an intermediate and is readily isolated. The best explanation for this appears to be the addition of two moles of hydrogen per mole of phenol to form a cyclohexenol which isomerizes to cyclohexanone before further hydrogenation takes place. The cyclohexanone is desorbed from the catalyst, and may be subsequently reduced to cyclohexanol. 

There may be cases, however, where pressures below atmospheric are desirable, particularly when the reaction may need to be stopped at some intermediate stage of hydrogenation. Thus, Grignard observed, in hydrogenating at pressures less than atmospheric with nickel, copper, and platinum catalysts, that hydrogenations could be stopped at the first stage. Phenol was reduced to cyclohexenol benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol benzonitrile to benzaldimine and phenylacetonitrile, at about 220 mm pressure and 200 C, to phenylacetaldimine. 

Whatever the mechanism of sulfoxide reduction, oxidized solvent molecules were observed in the photolysis of 9. For example, benzene is converted to phenol, cyclohexane to cyclohexene and cyclohexanol, and cyclohexene to cyclohexene oxide and 2-cyclohexenol [99]. Oxygen atom accounting ranges from fairly poor (ca. 1/3) to quantitative, depending on the solvent substrate. The stepwise and fairly selective nature of the oxidizing agent are suggested by... 

Figure 8.1. An alcohol (cyclohexanol), enol (cyclohexenol), and phenol (phenol [hydroxybenzene]). Cyclohexenol is shown in equilibrinm with its tautomer cyclohexanone and, at room temperature, is present in low (ca. 10 %) concentrations relative to the ketone.
