Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Indene Derivatives via Intramolecular Allylic Arylation of Baylis–Hillman Acetates

Abstract

An intramolecular allylic arylation protocol for the synthesis of indene derivatives from readily available Baylis–Hillman acetates via palladium-catalyzed C–H bond activation has been developed.

Key words

palladium - C–H bond activation - indene derivatives - Baylis–Hillman acetates - intramolecular allylic arylation

The reaction vessel was purged with argon, and dioxane (2.0 mL) was added. After the reaction mixture was stirred at 110 °C for 10 h, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residual was purified by silica gel chromatography (EtOAc–PE = 1:20) to give indenes 2.
