Selective synthesis of 1- and 3-substituted 2-methoxyindenes from the carboalkoxylations of 2-ethynylbenzyl ethers is described; the former is obtained efficiently with P(t-Bu)2(o-biphenyl)AuCl/NaBARF in DCM/MS 4 ? whereas the latter is produced preferably with P(t-Bu)2(o-biphenyl)AuCl/AgNTf2 in pre-dried DCM. Both 1- and 3-substituted 2-indenyl ethers are subjected to ozone oxidations to afford two distinct carbonyl products. Our new data indicate that 1-substituted 2-indenyl ethers are generated from gold catalysts whereas their 3-substituted analogues arise from Bronsted acids.

The selective syntheses of 1- and 2-indan-one compounds from 2-ethynylbenzyl ethers have been achieved with suitable catalysts and solvents. The highly acidic [tris(pentafluorophenyl)phos-phine]gold hexafluoroantimonate [(C6F5)3AuSbF6] in nitromethane (MeNO2) preferably gives 1-indan-ones whereas [(ortho-biphenyl) di(tert-butyl)phosphine] gold triflimide [(tBu)2(o-biphenyl) AuNTf2] in dichloroethane tends to form 2-indanone derivatives. For 2-indanone products, we isolated two indenyl methyl ethers for deuterium labeling analyses, providing evidence for p-alkyne activation.

Substituted benzyl alkynyl ethers, prepared from the corresponding α-alkoxy ketones in a two-step sequence involving enol triflate formation and KOtBu-induced E2 elimination, undergo [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/ intramolecular 5-exo-dig cyclization at 60 °C to form substituted 2-indanones in good overall yields. 1,3-cis-Disubstituted-2-indanones are formed preferentially when the benzylic substituent R1 is bulky. Substituted indenes may be prepared from 2-indanones in high yields by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction.
