Synthesis of 2-bromo-1-aryl-1H-indenes via a Ag(I) promoted domino 2π-electrocyclic ring-opening/4π-electrocyclization reaction of 1,2-diaryl substituted gem-dibromocyclopropanes
摘要:
2-Bromo-1-aryl substituted indenes can be synthesized from 1,2-diaryl substituted gem-dibromocyclopropanes via a domino reaction sequence. The cascade reaction involves silver(I) promoted ionization and 2 pi-disrotatory electrocyclic ring-opening, followed by a 4 pi-conrotatory electrocyclic ring closing reaction of the allylic carbocation intermediate. Reaction conditions utilize silver tetrafluoroborate (AgBF4) in dichloroethane at 65 degrees C. Selectivity effects for the electrocyclization were also studied. The 2-bromoindenes can be further functionalized using cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura protocol. The alkene it-bond of the indenes can also be isomerized to give the thermodynamically more stable 2-bromo-3-aryl-1H-indene isomers using triethylamine in dichloromethane at room temperature.

A procedure for the synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines from 2-methyl-1-phenyl substituted indene is described. The process involves the use of osmium tetroxide to cleave the indene double bond forming the keto aldehyde product, which is then combined with a substituted amine forming the substituted isoquinoline. Isoquinolines can be useful as industrial products in the chemical, agrochemical, oil and gas industry, as well as useful as medicaments in the pharmaceutical industry.
