Indanones and Indenols from 2-Alkylcinnamaldehydes via the Intramolecular Friedel−Crafts Reaction of Geminal Diacetates
摘要:
When treated with Ac(2)O at rt in the presence of 4-6 mol% FeCl(3), 2-alkylcinnamaldehydes are converted to 2-alkyl-1H-inden-1-yl acetates through the intermediacy of gemdiacetates. Methanolysis of the indenyl acetates yields the corresponding indenols, Saponification yields 2-alkylindanones, providing, in effect, an intramolecular acylation employing catalytic levels of acid.
