INTRODUCTIONCyclohexenone is the parent of a series of compounds that is important inagricultural and medicinal chemistry. Cyclohexenones are derivatives of cyclohexane with carbonyl group at 1-position and double bond at 2-position (I).Cyclohexenones can be conveniently synthesised by the treatment of α,β -unsaturated carbonyl compounds with ethylacetoacetate in basic media.O( I )In recent years cyclohexenone derivatives have gained lots of interestbecause of its prominent pharmaceutical properties.SYNTHETIC ASPECTDifferent methods for the synthesis of cyclohexenone derivatives have beendescribed in literature. 355-3611. N. Nanjundaswami et al. 362 have prepared 6,7-dimethoxy-1-aryl-4-oxo-2-naphthoate derivatives (III) by the reaction of dimethoxyphenyl aryl ketonewith diethyl succinate in presence of t-potassium butoxide.H 3 COH 3 COROCOOEtCOOEtt-BuOKH 3 COH 3 COORCOOEt(III)102Cyclohexenone…..
