Abstract :
The l-proline organocatalytic homodimerization of 2-cyclohexenone has been studied and it is concluded that the mechanism of the reaction follows competing pathways involving either a two-step imine/enamine addition or a concerted Diels–Alder cycloaddition where the ultimate product distribution is dependent upon the ratio of the organocatalyst to 2-cyclohexenone and a base present.
