Preparation of acrylophenones and 2-alkyl indanones utilizing hexamethylenetetramine as an inexpensive Mannich reagent

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608002617

Hexamethylenetetramine/acetic anhydride-promoted α-methylenation of aryl alkyl ketones followed by acid-catalyzed cyclization of the resulting acrylophenones produce 2-alkyl indanones in excellent yields.
