Synthesis and stereochemistry of hydrogenated 1,1,4,4,7a-pentamethylindenes

Ease of methylation of hydrogenated 2H-inden-2-ones depends on the presence of a double bond in the cyclohexane ring, and occurs readily with compound 20 but not with 10 . Differences of reactivity are also noted in Wittig reactions. Most reactions of the system are highly stereoselective, and the s...

Description
Summary:Ease of methylation of hydrogenated 2H-inden-2-ones depends on the presence of a double bond in the cyclohexane ring, and occurs readily with compound 20 but not with 10 . Differences of reactivity are also noted in Wittig reactions. Most reactions of the system are highly stereoselective, and the stereochemistry of hydrogenated indenes is discussed.
