Cyclizations of 2-(o-bromomethyl)benzylidene-1,3-indandione initiated by 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide and KCN: selectivity of O-alkylation and C-alkylation
Hy. Wang et al., Cyclizations of 2-(o-bromomethyl)benzylidene-1,3-indandione initiated by 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide and KCN: selectivity of O-alkylation and C-alkylation, J CHEM R-S, (2), 2000, pp. 82-83
1-Benzyt-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (1) and KCN reacted with 2-(o-bromomethyl)
-benzylidene-1,3-indandione (2) to give 7, 12-dihydro-1-oxoindeno[3,2-c][2]
benzooxepine (3) a nd 1'-cyano-3'-hydro-2, 2'-spirobi[2H-indene]-1,3-dione
(4), respectively, and the selectivity of O-alkylation and C-alkylation is
discussed.
