Abstract

Abstract Unexpected dimers of some 2-substituted indan-1-one derivatives were isolated during aldol condensation of indan-1-one with various aldehydes in the presence of KOH (see Scheme). Monomeric products, usually expected from aldol condensation, further underwent a base-catalyzed nucleophilic addition reaction to their dimeric form in some cases. The structures of these dimers were characterized by using various spectral ...
