A highly convenient synthetic pathway to 2-indanones from aldehydes was established. The introduction of a triisopropylsilyl group greatly facilitated Meinwald rearrangement of the intermediate epoxides and alleviated the necessity of polysubstitution for the clean formation of indenes and cyclopentadienes via cyclodehydration of allylic alcohols; unprecedented freedom with respect to the product structure was thus achieved. The developed methodology could also be applicable to the formation of seven-membered rings leading to dibenzo[7]annulenes and dibenzosuberones.

Introduction of a triisopropylsilyl group into allyl and allenyl carbinols greatly enhances the efficiency of gold(I)-catalyzed cyclodehydration, which can provide rapid access to a library of various compounds including 1H-indenes (Table 2 and Scheme 5), benzofulvenes (Table 3), indan-2-ones (Scheme 2), fulvenes (Table 4), cyclopentadienes (Table 4), 5H-dibenzo[a,c][7]annulenes (Scheme 6) and dibenzosuberones (Scheme 6). The developed method enables unprecedented product generality for several classes of cyclodehydration reactions, which is particularly notable for the preparation of 1H-indenes. The first synthesis of non-benzo-fused fulvenes via cyclodehydration of allenyl vinyl carbinols could be accomplished. The protocol is remarkable for mild conditions, operational convenience, and easy access to starting materials. Copyright
