Efficient synthesis of indenes by FeCl3·6H2O-catalyzed intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reaction of aryl-substituted allylic alcohols
摘要:
An efficient procedure for the synthesis of substituted indenes through the FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O-catalyzed intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization of aryl-substituted allylic alcohols has been developed. This method features the easily available starting materials, cheap catalyst, simple manipulation, and mild conditions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
