Abstract

1,2-Indandione reacts efficiently with arenes to give 2,2-diaryl-1-indanones by the hydroxyalkylation reaction. The Brønsted superacid CF 3 SO 3 H (triflic acid) is an effective catalyst for these condensation reactions. The requisite 1,2-indandiones were prepared from the 1-indanones. ... 1,2-Indandione reacts efficiently with arenes to give 2,2-diaryl-1-indanones by the hydroxyalkylation reaction. The Brønsted superacid CF 3 SO 3 H (triflic acid) is an effective catalyst for these ...
