Benzolactones and Benzocarbocycles by Ring Enlargement of Benzocycloalkenone Derivatives The Michael adducts 5–8 of benzonitrocycloalkenones 1–4 and acrylaldehyde are converted with (CH 3 ) 2 Ti(iPrO) 2 or NaCNBH 3 to secondary and primary alcohols, 9–12 and 13–16 , respectively. These alcohols react under basic conditions to form ring‐enlarged benzonitrolactones and benzooxolactones ( Scheme 1 ). The configuration of the bicyclic intermediates in this enlargement step is discussed. The Michael reactions of benzonitrocycloalkenones with methyl vinyl ketone lead to oxoalkyl‐benzonitrocycloalkenones 35‐‐38 . These products rearrange in the presence of t‐BuOK to yield benzonitrocycloalkenones 42 , 44 , and 46 , enlarged by two C‐atoms, or tricyclic hydroxy compounds 39 , 41 , 43 , and 45 ( Scheme 4 ).
