A saturated brine (0.5 mL) solution of (2-bromo-4-nitrobuta-1,3-dienyl) benzene (1 mmol) and 4-methyl-cyclohexanone (1.2 mmol) was stirred with (S)-2-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethylthio)pyridine (0.3 mmol) as catalyst and benzoic acid (0.3 mmol) as cocatalyst, at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. Solvents were removed under vacuum and the residue was purified by
on silica gel (eluent: petroleum ether-ether). Suitable crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate solution.H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H ranging from 0.93 to 0.98 Å and refined using riding model with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq or 1.5Ueq of the carrier atoms.
Asymmetric Michael additions of
or to nitroalkenes represent fundamental transformations which have wide applications in organic synthesis (Luo et al., 2007; Lu et al., 2010; Agarwal & Peddinti, 2011). On the other hand, alkenyl halides are present in a variety of natural products as well as in bioactive compounds. The title compound (Fig. 1) was obtained from the Michael addition of 4-methyl-cyclohexanone to (2-bromo-4-nitro-buta-1,3-dienyl)-benzene in our laboratory. The geometry compares well with other related structures (Li et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2011). In the title compound, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The plane of the phenyl ring and the least-squares plane of the cyclohexyl moiety enclose an angle of 69.80 (3)°, while the plane through the nitro group and the adjacent C17 atom encloses an angle of 87.12 (3)° with the phenyl ring. The Br1—C9—C10—C11 torsion angle of 175.8 (4)° confirms the E configuration of the molecule with respect to the C9=C10 double bond. The molecules are linked by weak intermolecular N—O···Br interactions, the O···Br distance being 3.136 (4) Å.For related compounds, see: Li et al. (2009); Wu et al. (2011). For the asymmetric Michael reaction, which allows for the formation of three contiguous asymmetric centers, see: Agarwal & Peddinti (2011); Lu et al. (2010); Luo et al. (2007).

Asymmetric Michael additions of aldehydes or ketones to nitroalkenes represent fundamental transformations which have wide applications in organic synthesis (Luo et al., 2007; Lu et al., 2010; Agarwal & Peddinti, 2011). On the other hand, alkenyl halides are present in a variety of natural products as well as in bioactive compounds. The title compound (Fig. 1) was obtained from the Michael addition of 4-methyl-cyclohexanone to (2-bromo-4-nitro-buta-1,3-dienyl)-benzene in our laboratory. The geometry compares well with other related structures (Li et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2011). In the title compound, the cyclohexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The plane of the phenyl ring and the least-squares plane of the cyclohexyl moiety enclose an angle of 69.80 (3)°, while the plane through the nitro group and the adjacent C17 atom encloses an angle of 87.12 (3)° with the phenyl ring. The Br1—C9—C10—C11 torsion angle of 175.8 (4)° confirms the E configuration of the molecule with respect to the C9=C10 double bond. The molecules are linked by weak intermolecular N—O···Br interactions, the O···Br distance being 3.136 (4) Å.
