In this Note, we describe superacid-promoted cyclodehydrations leading to functionalized indenes. The product indenes are synthesized having N-heterocyclic substituents, including pyridyl, imidazolyl, pyrimdyl, and other groups. A mechanism is proposed involving dicationic, superelectrophilic intermediates. The protonated N-heterocyclic rings are shown to dramatically lower the LUMO energy level of the carboxonium electrophile (compared to that of a similar uncharged system).

“…Indene derivatives exhibit a wide range of biological properties . In addition, they act as ligands to form different metallocene complexes, which have been extensively utilized as catalysts in the olefin polymerization process . Because of the importance of the indene moiety, different methods have been established to construct the indene core.…”

A new protocol has been developed for the synthesis of indene derivatives in a diastereoselective manner from o-alkenylbenzaldehydes and enolizable ketones in the presence of trimethyl orthoformate and catalytic triflic acid. This method involves tandem in situ formed acetal-assisted Claisen-Schmidt condensation followed by 5-exo-trig cyclization/Michael addition in one-pot. It has also been shown that the chalcones derived from o-alkenylbenzaldehydes and ketones can effectively be transformed into indene derivatives in the presence of TfOH catalyst alone.
