Abstract:
The first syntheses and characterizations of 6,7a-dichloro-3a-hydroxyoctahydro-1H-indene-2,5-diyl diacetates were successfully obtained starting from indan-2-ol. Epoxidation of 2 was carried out using mCPBA in methylene chloride followed by acetylation using acetyl chloride to furnish the diacetates. The structures of all synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods.
