Abstract:An efficient method for the synthesis of alkyl benzoyl indanones via a simple intermolecular Heck coupling followed by intramolecular condensation, and alkylation is presented. Notably, the strategy exhibited good substrate scope and enabled the synthesis of diverse alkyl substituted 1,3‐dicarbonyl products. Significantly, this protocol was successful using a single‐column purification technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
