- new method for the synthesis of pure indatraline ((−)-29) in a sequence of reactions starting from carboxylic acid 27 (Scheme 10). 1.1.2 From acid chlorides: The first synthesis of unsubstituted 1-indanone (2), obtained from the reaction of phenylpropionic acid chloride with aluminum chloride in
- using lithium, nickel and palladium catalysts (Scheme 15). A general mechanism illustrating the role of transition metal complexes and CO in this reaction is shown in Scheme 15. Cyclic esters were also used in the syntheses of 1-indanones. Thus, by adding β-propiolactone to aluminum chloride in benzene
- , 1-indanone has been obtained in 80% yield. Interestingly, when aluminum chloride was added to the lactone in benzene, the yield of this reaction decreased (30%) [34]. Irradiation of esters 44 possessing the photoremovable 2,5-dimethylphenacyl group in benzene or cyclohexane solutions led to free

- is hence a convenient building block for further functionalization. Moreover, we have found that the treatment of DHA by aluminum chloride followed by water provided another means of inducing ring-opening of DHA to form VHF (Scheme 1) [10]. This method is particularly convenient for making VHF on a
- Discussion Synthesis DHA 1 was first opened to VHF 2 by aluminum chloride followed by quenching with water according to a previously described procedure (Scheme 4) [10]. The resulting VHF 2 was then treated with NBS and benzoyl peroxide in benzene and the mixture was subjected to irradiation from a 500 W

The synthesis explores the ready conversion of DHA 1 to VHF 2 on a preparative scale by using aluminum chloride followed by NBS bromination. This bromination was found to occur selectively in the
