Indenone synthesis. Improved synthetic protocol and effect of substitution on the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts acylation

Abstract: An improved protocol for the construction of substituted indenones is presented. Also the effect of substitution on the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts acylation was noted. Specifically, if there is no substitution at the 2-position of the indenone poor yields of cyclized material were obtained, if at all, while the substitution of a methyl or ethyl group greatly improved the yield of cyclized material. Placement of a large group (e.g., benzyl) resulted in a diminuation of the improved yield. The new synthetic p… Show more

“…Reaction with an organometallic nucleophile affords the cyclopropylcarbinol which, under Lewis acidic conditions, undergoes ring expansion to regioselectively substituted naphthalenes 185. A carbon label would be most conveniently introduced via the indenone from either [ 14 C]acetic acid or [ 14 C]benzaldehyde rather than from trimethylsilyldiazomethane (Scheme ) 186…”

“…[41] 3-Hydroxy-3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid (3c): The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra match those reported in the literature. [42] 3-Hydroxy-3-(2'-methylphenyl)propanoic acid (3d): [43] 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-3-phenylpropanoic acid (3f): For purification, KHCO 3 was added, and EtOAc was used to extract unreacted ketone and any methyl ester. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 1 using 1 M HCl, and the product was extracted into EtOAc.…”

“…A great many methods have been developed for the preparation of these valuable compounds over the past few decades. Traditional methods to indenones usually suffer from harsh reaction conditions, multiple steps, and narrow substrate scope . In recent years, transition-metal-catalyzed construction of indenones has been intensively explored through the annulation of alkynes and ortho -functionalized aromatic aldehydes, esters, or nitriles, which has provided a new avenue for the efficient formation of indenones .…”
