Regiodivergent synthesis of functionalized indene derivatives via Pt-catalyzed Rautenstrauch reaction of propargyl carbonates

Abstract

A regiodivergent synthesis of functionalized indene derivatives from a Pt-catalyzed Rautenstrauch reaction of propargyl carbonate is described. A one-pot Rautenstrauch/Tsuji-Trost reaction delivering 2-indanones was realized efficiently using this methodology.
