A new access to indanones was discovered through a one-step nickel or iron-mediated transposition of 2-hydroxyisobenzofurans. Starting from the corresponding silylenol ethers, a new one-pot tandem isomerisation-Mukaiyama aldol process was also developed. These versatile strategies will be useful for the preparation of various types of indanones and indenones.
First organocatalytic intramolecular aldolization of ortho-diacylbenzenes to construct highly functionalized 3-hydroxyindanones is described. In this transformation a high trans-selectivity is achieved by the use of metal salt of amino acid. This method allows an easy access to the strained spiro-cyclic 3-hydroxyindanones related to a number of natural product frameworks. Synthesis of a new class of indole skeleton substituted by 3-hydroxyindanones added an extra essence to this new protocol. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
