Abstract

A novel synthetic method using an ionic liquid (IL) for a six-membered ring-closure cyclization is described. The ring-closure cyclization by nucleophilic C-alkylation was achieved with various halo-and alkanesulfonyloxyalkyl aromatic compounds in high yields with minimal byproducts using ILs as the reaction media in the absence of any catalyst. For example, the cyclization of 2-(3-methanesulfonyloxy-propoxy) naphthalene (1a) to 2, 3- ...
