General Description

3-phenyl-1H-indene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C15H12. It is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and is classified as an indene, which is a type of aromatic hydrocarbon with a structure containing a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered ring. 3-phenyl-1H-indene is commonly used in the production of synthetic flavors and fragrances due to its pleasant odor and is also used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. It is a pale yellow to colorless liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water. However, it is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and benzene. It is important to handle 3-phenyl-1H-indene with care, as it is a flammable liquid and can also pose health hazards if inhaled or come into contact with the skin.

The intramolecular reaction of acetophenoneN-tosylhydrazone and vinyl: Br?nsted acid-promoted cationic cyclization toward polysubstituted indenes

In the presence of TsNHNH2, a Br?nsted acid-promoted intramolecular cyclization ofo-(1-arylvinyl) acetophenone derivatives was developed, leading to polysubstituted indenes with complexity and diversity in moderate to excellent yields. In sharp contrast with either the radical or carbene involved cyclization of aldehydicN-tosylhydrazone with vinyl, a cationic cyclization pathway was involved, whereN-tosylhydrazone served as an electrophile and alkylation reagent during this transformation.

Exploring the Labile Nature of 2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl Moiety in Allylic Systems under Acidic Conditions

An investigation of the unexpected lability of the Csp3–Csp2 bond connecting 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl group and an allylic moiety is carried out. We observed that the catalytic presence of either Lewis or Br?nsted acid can render such 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl group labile. Several nucleophiles were found to substitute the labile C–C bond in mild reaction conditions resulting in very good yields of the allylated products. Even in the absence of a nucleophile, intramolecular cyclization of the parent substrate under acidic activation caused the labile C–C bond to cleave. A major motivation of this study is to understand the lability of electron-rich aryl group in acidic medium, employing 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl moiety as a case study. A plausible mechanism is proposed after carrying out several control reactions as well as UV/Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic studies. This work provides an insight into the activation of electron-rich arenes as a labile entity in acidic medium while also adding a conceptually novel C–C bond breaking approach to the vast literature of allylation of arenes.
