2,4,6-Triarylpyrylium salts 1 react with indan-1-one in the presence of an appropriate buffer system (e.g. piperidine acetate, triethylamine/acetic acid, triethylamine or sodium acetate) to yield the 2-(1,3,5-triaryl-5-oxo-pent-2-en-1-yliden)-indan-1-ones 2.For the reaction medium aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol), dipolar aprotic solvents (acetonitrile) or chlorinated hydroxycarbons (methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride) can be used.On treating 2 with sodium methanolate in methanol, a cyclization reaction occurs giving rise to the 4-aroyl-1,3-diaryl-fluorenes 3.As by-products 1,3-diaryl-fluorenes 8 (e.g. 1,3-diphenyl-fluorene) are formed. - I.r., n.m.r. and u.v. spectroscopic data of the novel compounds 2 and 3 are reported.
