Indenes 2-aryl

The process by which a solubility differential between exposed and unexposed areas occurs is well known (74). Photodegradation products of the naphthoquinone diazide sensitizer, eg, a l,2-naphthoquinonediazide-5-sulfonic acid ester (11), where Ar is an aryl group, to an indene carboxylic acid confers much increased solubility in aqueous alkaline developer solutions. 

All lation of Garbanions. Concentrated N a OH—hen syl triethyl amm onium chloride is the base/catalyst system normally used for this type of process (20). Classes of compounds alkylated in this way include phenylacetonitriles, ben2ylketones, simple aUphatic ketones, certain aldehydes, aryl sulfones, P-ketosulfones, P-ketoesters, malonic esters and nitriles, phenylacetic esters, indene, and fluorene (see Alkylation). 

A significant modification in the stereochemistry is observed when the double bond is conjugated with a group that can stabilize a carbocation intermediate. Most of the specific cases involve an aryl substituent. Examples of alkenes that give primarily syn addition are Z- and -l-phenylpropene, Z- and - -<-butylstyrene, l-phenyl-4-/-butylcyclohex-ene, and indene. The mechanism proposed for these additions features an ion pair as the key intermediate. Because of the greater stability of the carbocations in these molecules, concerted attack by halide ion is not required for complete carbon-hydrogen bond formation. If the ion pair formed by alkene protonation collapses to product faster than reorientation takes place, the result will be syn addition, since the proton and halide ion are initially on the same side of the molecule. 

The superior donor properties of amino groups over alkoxy substituents causes a higher electron density at the metal centre resulting in an increased M-CO bond strength in aminocarbene complexes. Therefore, the primary decarbo-nylation step requires harsher conditions moreover, the CO insertion generating the ketene intermediate cannot compete successfully with a direct electro-cyclisation of the alkyne insertion product, as shown in Scheme 9 for the formation of indenes. Due to that experience amino(aryl)carbene complexes are prone to undergo cyclopentannulation. If, however, the donor capacity of the aminocarbene ligand is reduced by N-acylation, benzannulation becomes feasible [22]. 

The intramolecular hydroarylation/cyclisation of aryl propargylic acetates catalysed by the system [AuCl(IPr)]/AgBF (1 1, 2 mol%, 72-92%, rt, 5 min) was developed as a versatile and efficient method leading to indene derivatives 110 (Scheme 2.20). Analogous catalytic systems, where the IPr was substituted by PPh, gave lower conversions and chemo-Zregio-selectivity.

The benzannulated analogs were also found to behave in a similar fashion. Attachment of a pendent olefin to the benzannulated enyne-allene system as depicted in 89 allowed the aryl radical in 90 to be captured in a 5-exo radical cyclization reaction leading to 91 and then the dihydrobenz[e]indene 92 (Scheme 20.20) [55, 56]. 

Aryl(dialkylamino)carbene chromium complexes do not yield aminonaphthols upon treatment with alkynes, but form indene derivatives. Vinyl(dialkylamino)car-bene complexes, however, react with alkynes to yield aminophenols as the main products if solvents of low nucleophilicity are used [335]. (2-Amino-1-vinyl)carbene complexes do not undergo benzannulation when treated with alkynes, but form cyclopentadienes or heterocycles instead [251]. 

The intermediate vinylketene complexes can undergo several other types or reaction, depending primarily on the substitution pattern, the metal and the solvent used (Figure 2.27). More than 15 different types of product have been obtained from the reaction of aryl(alkoxy)carbene chromium complexes with alkynes [333,334]. In addition to the formation of indenes [337], some arylcarbene complexes yield cyclobutenones [338], lactones, or furans [91] (e.g. Entry 4, Table 2.19) upon reaction with alkynes. Cyclobutenones can also be obtained by reaction of alkoxy(alkyl)carbene complexes with alkynes [339]. 

The photoactive compounds, or sensitizers, that are used in the formulation of positive photoresists, are substituted diazonaphthoquinones shown in Figure 17. The substituent, shown as R in Figure 17, is generally an aryl sulfonate. The nature of the substituent influences the solubility characteristics of the sensitizer molecule and also influences the absorption characteristics of the chromophor (79). The diazonaphthoquinone sulfonates are soluble in common organic solvents but are insoluble in aqueous base. Upon exposure to light, these substances undergo a series of reactions that culminate in the formation of an indene carboxylic acid as depicted in Figure 17. The photoproduct, unlike its precursor, is extremely soluble in aqueous base by virtue of the carboxylic acid functionality. 

When l-[o-(phenylethynyl)phenyl]cyclopropanol-Co2(CO)6 complex (36) is heated at 50 °C in 2-propanol under argon in the presence of DABCO, a completely different product, 3a,4-dihydro-3ff-cyclopenta[a]inden-2-one derivative 40, is produced as a 95 5 diastereomeric mixture in 72% yield. As shown in Scheme 18, not only aryl-substituted alkynyl derivatives, but also alkyl-substituted alkynyl derivatives, give the corresponding cyclopenta[a]inden-2-one derivatives 40 in moderate to good yields. 

In the preceding cyclization, one concern is the behavior of intermediate 24 if its benzyl cation is replaced with a tertiary cation to avoid forming a tertiary carbon, the 1,2-aryl migration of this intermediate would be unlikely to occur. When this cyclization was extended to 2,2-dimethyl(o-ethynyl)styrene 26, the 2-alkenyl-lH-indene product 28 [16] was obtained in 76% yield, as depicted in Scheme 6.14. In this transformation, the alkenyl double bond of the 3,5-dien-l-ynes is cleaved and a... 

In this cyclodecarbonylation reaction, a ketene species is unlikely to be the reaction intermediate as added alcohols produce no esters. As shown in Scheme 6.26, the ruthenium acyl species 72 is likely to be the intermediate [25], which is prone to decarbonylationto give ruthena-cyclohexadiene 73 this species undergoes subsequent reductive elimination to form 2H-indene. Addition of proton or Ru to species 74 generated the benzylic cation 75, which after a 1,2-aryl shift gave the observed products. 

An alternate approach has been developed by Charette and coworkers in which chiral iodomethylzinc phosphates were prepared and tested in the cyclopropanation of unfunctionalized alkenes. Although these reagents were not sufficiently reactive to convert aryl-substituted alkenes (such as indene) to the corresponding cyclopropane, they reacted nicely with protected aryl-substituted allylic and homoallylic alcohols (equation 92) °. Several 3,3 -disubstituted binols were tested and ligand 23 stood out as being the most effective with this class of compounds. The active reagent in this case is a chiral iodomethylzinc phosphate. 

The thermal isomerization of dihalocyclopropanes is facilitated by the presence of aryl, alkyl and alkoxy substituents in the three-membered ring. Phenyl substituted systems may give rise to indenes, and in the alkyl series the dehydro-halogenation of 2,3-dihalocyclopropane derivatives may lead to dienes.

Attack by the carbene on a suitably placed aryl ring (Scheme 58152) gives an intermediate 164, which undergoes a thermally allowed suprafacial [l,5]-hydrogen shift to give the indene 165.151,152 The intramolecular nature of the hydride shift was established by lack of exchange with deuterium in the solvent.152...

Intramolecular alkylation of aryl ketones with the concomitant elimination of water, also called cyclodehydration,313 has been studied by Shudo and co-workers.314 Cyclodehydration of 1,3-diphenylpropanones to give 1 -phenyl- l//-indenes [Eq. (5.119)] shows strong dependence on acidity. 

This mechanistic consideration is in accord with the result from arylation of indene (7) [5]. The arylation occurs exclusively at the 1,3-positions, those with the highest electron density, of intermediary indenyl anions (9). The related arylation of azulene also proceeds exclusively at 1,3-positions, interpreted as electrophilic aromatic substitution, again by an electrophilic aryl-Pd species [10].
