Abstract
The acid-catalyzed cyclization of 1-(3,4-dialkylaryl)-3-chloropropan-1-ones to dialkylindanones via the intermediate formation of (3,4-dialkylaryl)propenones was studied. This reaction affords isomeric products: 5,6-dialkylindan-1-ones and 4,5-dialkylindan-1-ones. The DFT quantum chemical calculation results correlate with the experimental data and suggest that the structural factors affect the ratio of products.
