Description
Summary:[Display omitted] Rearrangement of cyclopropyl methanesulfonates to allylic carbocations was employed for the construction of tetralin and chromate bicyclic cores. We found that this transformation proceeds efficiently and rapidly at room temperature in the presence of dimethylaluminium triflate serving as a non-nucleophilic Lewis acid. The reaction begins with the cyclopropanol ring-opening and follows by the Friedel-Crafts cyclization of the resulting cationic intermediate with a pendant aromatic ring.
