In the other approach, benzisoxazols are first formed from benzylnitrones and cycloalkene, then treatment of benzisoxazoles with an allyl- halide produces the corresponding benzoxazoline halide and hydrogenolysis of these halides give the desired com- pounds)”, In this work, (-)-menthone (1) was reacted with benzalde- hyde in the presence of base in dry ether to yield an E/Z- isomere mixture of 2-benzylidenecyclohexanone 2, 3. Only the £ isomer reacted at room temp. with some cyclic sec. amines to yield compounds 4a-d. Compounds 4a-d were then reduced with LiAIH, to give the corresponding amino- alcohols 5a-d (Scheme 1). Results and Discussion 2-Benzylidenmenthone 2, 3 could not be synthesized with the procedures in lit. reported because of low yield (Table 1). We improved the yield to 46-56% using NaH in dry diethyl ether instead of aquos NaOH, sodium ethoxide or piperidine in an organic solvent®"), oH ()Ciramadol rac Tilidin The E/Z ratio in 1R,4S-2-benzylidene-1-methyl-4-isopro- pyl-cyclohexan-3-one was determined by GC analysis: E = 68% and Z = 31 %, Baltzly and other groups*"®) showed that trans benzylidene-cyclohexanones give Michael type addition with sec. amines. In our study only the E isomer 3 gave an addition product with cyclic amines. All attempts were unsuccessful with the Z isomer 2. The Claisen-Schmidt product of rac-camphor was also synthesized with the £/Z ratio 6/94 but this mixture did not undergo any addition reaction with all sec. amines consid- ered. ‘The C-2 and C-11 centers of compounds 4 may cause the formation of four isomers during the addition of sec. amines. However, we obtained only one diastereomer. This result indicates the high stereoselectivity at these two cen- ters. The stereochemistry of these compounds will be pub- lished separately. 2-(a-Aminobenzyl)-(-)-menthones 4 were reduced with LiAIH, to obtain the corresponding aminoalcohols Sa-d 16), These compounds show reduced analgesic activity only (Table 2) as compared with the ketones 4a-d.
