Abstract

As the first phase in the synthesis of dicyclopenta [ef, kl] heptalene, four routes to 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9a-hexahydro-2H-benzo [c, d] axulen-6-one (19) via the intermediate 4 (l-indanyl) butanoic acid (3) have been investigated:(i) via a Reformatsky reaction of 1-indanone with methyl 4bromo-2-butenoate;(ii) via a Reformatsky reaction of 1-indanone with ethyl bromoacetate and subsequent chain lengthening by a malonic ester alkylation sequence;(iii) via ...
