Abstract

Abstract Perfluoro-1-phenyltetralin ( 1 ) heated with antimony pentafluoride at 130 °C, then treated with water, gave a mixture of perfluorinated 3-methyl-2-phenylindenone ( 3 ), 3-methyl-2-phenylindene ( 4 ), 3-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-phenylindan ( 5 ), 1-methyl-3-phenylindan ( 6 ), 9-methyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroanthracene ( 7 ), and 1,9-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-β-naphthindan ( 8 ). When heated with SbF 5 in the presence of HF, then treated with water, compound 1 is transformed to a mixture of products 3 – 6 . The reaction at 170 and 200 °C forms compounds 3 – 6 together with perfluoro-2-(cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-methylindene ( 10 ).
