Abstract
First organocatalytic intramolecular aldolization of ortho-diacylbenzenes to construct highly functionalized 3-hydroxyindanones is described. In this transformation a high trans-selectivity is achieved by the use of metal salt of amino acid. This method allows an easy access to the strained spirocyclic 3-hydroxyindanones related to a number of natural product frameworks. Synthesis of a new class of indole skeleton substituted by 3-hydroxyindanones added an extra essence to this new protocol.
