- Abstract
A novel strategy has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3‐diarylindanones and 2‐arylindenes through the formation of trisubstituted α,β‐unsaturated esters by the ring opening of 2,3‐diarylcyclopropenones in the presence of a catalytic amount of TPP under mild reaction conditions. Initially, PPh3 activates the diarycyclopropenone to generate the phosphonium adduct, which simultaneously reacts with 4‐hydroxycoumarins to afford α,β‐unsaturated esters instead of Wittig olefination. Subsequently, these α,β‐unsaturated esters undergo a smooth Friedel–Crafts‐type cyclization with arenes in the presence of AlCl3 to give a new series of 2,3‐diarylindanones in good to excellent yields. Additionally, the reduction of α,β‐unsaturated esters with NaBH4 followed by acid‐catalyzed cyclization of the resulting allylic alcohols afforded 2‐arylindenes in good yields. This is the first report on the use of α,β‐unsaturated esters as precursors for the synthesis of diarylindanones and arylindenes.
