Abstract
The synthesis of Z- and E-arylhydrazones by 1,4-conjugate addition of glycine, L-alanine and L-tyrosine ethyl esters to phenylazostilbene 1, p-nitrophenylazostilbene 2 and p-nitrophenylazocyclohexene 3 is descr ibed. Optically active N-functionalized 2-aminocyclohexanones 22-26 ar e obtained by TiCl3-catalysed hydrolysis of the corresponding hydrazon es. However, they have been shown to be unstable, as they undergo easy oxidation by air. X-Ray analysis of the phenylhydrazone 8a in the Z c onfiguration is also reported.
