HELP (4,4) dimethanol cyclohexene synthesis?
« on: December 06, 2008, 07:52:30 PM »
Please help me figure out what reagents to use to synthesise this compound:

it is a hexene ring (one double bond) and I have to have two methanol groups attached at the same (i.e. the 4) position

Oh yeah, for got about Diels Alders .

Would it be possible to use cyclohexenone and LDA/CH3Br and filter out the side products?

diels-alder....perfect

and it doesnt need any other reagent or work up to carry out does it?

hence, i would just mix (1,2) propa-di-ene and chloroethene?

thank you SO much for this help
