McDonald, Edward,Smith, Paul
, p. 837 - 842 (2007/10/02)
A series of ortho-bromochalcones has been prepared and each has been heated and irradiated in strong acid.In most cases a four-electron electrocyclic reaction occurred preferentially to give 3-arylindan-1-ones in good yield.The acrylchalcone 4'-methoxy-3,
