Abstract
A migratory insertion of carbene followed by a Heck reaction enables the synthesis of 2-arylidene-3-aryl-1-indanones in excellent yields from very stable and easily accessible N-tosylhydrazones and 2′-iodochalcones through 5-exo-trig cyclization that delivers the products selectively with E configuration of the double bond. In situ synthesis of both 2′-iodochalcones and N-tosylhydrazones has also been demonstrated.
