In this paper, a cascade reaction of ethyl acetoacetate and its derivatives with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by morpholine leads to a series of highly substituted cyclohexanones in up to 90% yields, presumably via a Knoevenagel/Michael/Aldol reaction sequence. Morpholine, acting as an organocatalyst, is proved to play an important role through iminium and enamine activations in this cascade transformation. The resulted cyclohexanones are further converted into 2-cyclohexenones by a readily available method. This method provides a simple, practical and green route to prepare cyclohexanones from readily available materials.
