Access to Polycyclic Derivatives by Triflate-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroarylation

An efficient and versatile synthesis of indane, tetralin and benzosuberan derivatives has been developed; the synthesis starts from nonactivated aromatic compounds bearing unsaturated side chains and is a bismuth(III) or indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate-catalysed atom-economic process. A variety of polycyclic compounds have been isolated in high yields. Lactonisation could be observed for esters with 2,2-disubstituted terminal olefins through a Lewis acid catalysed reaction between the olefin and one of the ester groups.

Efficient intramolecular hydroarylation catalysed by BiIII triflate

Non-activated aromatic compounds bearing unsaturated side-chains afford tetralin and benzosuberan derivatives in good yields in an atom-economic, environmentally friendly process catalysed by bismuth(III) trifluromethanesulfonate. Copyright

Ketone precursors for organoleptic compounds

The invention discloses ketones of formula I: wherein, Y is an optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, or cycloalkylalkyl, wherein each alkyl group is straight or branched and each alkyl and cycloalkyl group is saturated or unsaturated; R1is hydrogen or a C1-6alkyl group that is substituted, saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched; A is a chromophoric substituted aromatic ring or ring system; n is an integer; and with the proviso that formula I is not 2-ethoxy-1-phenyl-ethanone. These compositions are useful for the delivery of organoleptic compounds, especially of flavors, fragrances, masking agents and antimicrobial compounds.

Odorant and/or flavorant substances

This invention discloses novel odorant and/or flavoring compositions containing a substituted tetralin or indan of the general formula STR1 wherein R' represents --CN, --COOH2 R6 or --COOCH2 R8 ; R2 through R8 represents hydrogen or methyl and n represents 1 or 2. The invention is also concerned with those novel tetralins and indans disclosed herein.
