A convenient synthesis of 7-halo-1-indanones and 8-halo-1-tetralones

A regioselective oxidation of N-indan-4-yl-acetamide or N-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)acetamide with potassium permanganate followed by acidic hydrolysis gave 7-aminoindan-1-one or 8-aminotetral-1-one in good yield. The amino ketones were converted to the corresponding 7-haloindanone or the 8-halotetralone. Another method to prepare 7-haloindan-1-ones was completed by a cyclization of 3-chloro-1-(2-halophenyl)propan-1-one under Friedel-Crafts conditions to produce the product in gram quantity.

A concise synthesis of 2-benzoyl-1-indanones and 1-indanones from 2-aryl-1-tetralones

Abstract

Methyl-2-(3-oxo-3-aryl) benzoates derived from acid catalyzed air oxidative fragmentation of 2-aryl-1-tetralones were efficiently undergone intramolecular-Claisen condensation in the presence of potassium tertiary butoxide. The resulting 2-benzoyl-1-indanones formed in two-step ring contractions were further subjected to indium triflate mediated retro-Claisen condensation to get 1-indanones.

We report an improved procedure for the selective transformation of substituted 1-tetralones to 1,2-naphthoquinones by microwave-assisted selenium dioxide oxidation. The reaction time is effectively reduced from hours to seconds without any loss of yield (40-70%) or selectivity.     

2-Alkylidene-1-Tetralones from Aldol Condensations

The crotonisation of 1-tetralone with various alkyl aldehydes under basic conditions led to the corresponding 2-alkylidene-1-tetralones with fair yields and complete stereoselectivities. The E-stereochemistry of the adducts has been determined through their photoisomerisation and by comparison of the ¹H NMR spectra.

Gold-catalyzed consecutive [1,2] alkyl migration-oxygen transfer reaction of 2-alkynyl-1-tetralones

Gold-catalyzed isomerization of 2-alkynyl-1-tetralones afforded the corresponding 2-naphthylmethyl ketones in good to high yields. For example, the reaction of 2-{4-(methoxyphenyl)methyl}-2-(phenylethynyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one and 2-benzyl-2-(phenylethynyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one in the presence of 5 mol % of (Ph₃P)AuCl and 5 mol % of AgOTf in THF at 50 °C gave 2-{1-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)naphthalen-2-yl}-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone and 2-(1-benzylnaphthalen-2-yl)-1-phenylethanone in 85% and 96% yields, respectively. The present reaction proceeds through [1,2] alkyl migration followed by oxygen transfer.     

General synthesis of 8-aryl-2-tetralones

Two alternative routes are described for the synthesis of 8-aryl-2-tetralones (1). Route A starts from alpha-tetralone 3 and involves 3 or 4 steps, with the selective Na-EtOH reduction of 1-aryl-7-methoxynaphthalenes 2 being the key step. The exclusive reduction of the A ring of naphthalenes 2 occurs when the aryl group at C-1 has no substituent at the ortho positions, affording tetrahydronaphthalenes 11. Reduction of the B ring of 2 becomes the major process when the aryl fragment has two substituents at the ortho positions, affording 8-aryl-2-tetralones 1 as the major component. Route B involves 5 steps starting from 2-tetralone 5, with the key step being the Suzuki coupling with triflate 4. This approach allows the synthesis of 8-aryl-2-tetralones 1 with no substituent at the ortho positions of the aryl fragment and with naphthalene and anthracene rings at C-8.     

The structure of cis and trans lsomers of 1-(p-Bromobenzylidene)-2-indanone

Abstract

In this communication we wish to report an interesting case of the isolation and characterization of the cis and trans isomers of 1-(p-bromobenzylidene)-2-indanone and their ketals. Prior to this work, Hoogstreen and Trenner² had reported on the cis and trans isomers of 1-(p-chlorobenzylidene)-2-methyl-5-methoxyindenylacetic acid. The condensation of 2-(N-morpholinyl)-indene (1, prepared by the reaction of 2-indanone³ and morpholine) with P-bromobenzaldehyde was conducted by refluxing them in the presence of acetic acid for 4 hours. Acid hydrolysis of the reaction mixture followed by dry column chrcmatography over sillica gel using a fraction collector afforded two iscmeric monobenzylidenes, compounds 2(36.6%, mp 110–111°)and 3(1.3%, mp 115–116°) and a dibenylidene, compound 4 (8.7%, mp 205°). The relative rations of the mono- and dibenzylidenes seemed to depend on the reaction conditions. Higher yields of the monobenzylidenes 2 and 3 were obtained by conducting the reaction in the presence of UV light. The structures of these monobenzylidenes were established as cis and trans isomers of 1-(p-bromobenzylidenes)-2-indanone on the Basis of elemental analyses and ir and nmr spectroscopy. The ir spectra⁴ (CHCl₃)

of compounds 2 [1725 (c=0), 1620 (c=c)cm^?1] and 3[1710 (c=o), 1570, 1600 (c=c) cm^?1] were consistent with the structures. The molecular ion peaks as well as the fragmentation patterns in the mass spectra of both these compounds were consistent with the assigned structures. Before going into the omr discussion it should be pointed out that treatment of compound 2 with athylene glycol in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid produced two ketals, 5 (38.3% mp, 118–120°) and 6 (30.6% mp, 125–126°). As depicted; the ketals 5and 6 were also found (by omr) to be related to each other as cis and trans isomers. Furthermore, each of them could be hydrolyzed with acid to the corresponding monobenzylidenes 2 and 3 without any isomerization. However, UV irradiation of compounds 2 and 3 gave equilibrium mixtures containing both the isomers, indicating isomerization had occurred under photolytic conditions.
