Synthesis of stereoselective 1-indanone derivatives.
Ma, et al. have reported a procedure for the synthesis of 2-fluoro-1-indanones by tandem reaction of alkylidene beta-ketoesters in the presence of Cu(II) triflate and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide . The use of a chiral Cu(II) catalyst afforded the tandem product in good yield with high enantioselectivity.
