Abstract

Various α , β -unsaturated ketones (9,12 and 16) were prepared from 2-alkanol-1-methyl-1H-imidazoles (6,10 and 13 respectively), which were obtained by treatment of 2-acyl-lmethyl-lH-imidazoles (1) with vinylic Grignard reagents, a lithium acetylide and allylic Grignard reagents, respectively. dl-(ar)-Turmerone (16i) was also synthesized as an application of the present methodology.
