Under Sc(OTf)(3) catalysis, benzylidene Meldrum's acids bearing a tethered p-methoxyphenethyl group were observed to undergo a [1,5]-hydride shift/cyclization at room temperature, representing a mild Csp(3)-H bond functionalization. The resulting spiro Meldrum's acid intermediates then underwent intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation, completing the one-pot, domino reaction. The reported protocol generates the 6-6-5-6 tetracyclic core of tetrahydrobenzo[b]fluoren-11-ones. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
