(Chemical Equation Presented) The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatics with Meldrum's acid derivatives catalyzed by metal trifluoromethanesulfonates is reported. Meldrum's acids are easily prepared, functionalized, handled, and purified. The synthesis of polysubstituted 1-indanones from benzyl Meldrum's acids was investigated thoroughly, and it was shown that a variety of catalysts were effective, while accommodating a diversity of functional groups under mild conditions. The scope, limitations, and functional group tolerance (terminal alkene and alkyne, ketal, dialkyl ether, dialkyl thioether, aryl methyl ether, aryl TIPS and TBDPS ethers, nitrile- and nitro-substituted aryls, alkyl and aryl halides) for a variety of 5-benzyl (enolizable Meldrum's acids) and 5-benzyl-5-substituted Meldrum's acids (quaternized Meldrum's acids), forming 1-indanones and 2-substituted-1- indanones, respectively, are delineated. This method was further applied to the synthesis of 1-tetralones, 1-benzosuberones, and the potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil. Rate of cyclization as a function of ring size was established for various benzocyclic ketones via competition experiments: 1-tetralones form faster than both 1-indanones and 1-benzosuberones, and 1-benzosuberones cyclize faster than 1-indanones.

The invention relates to a process for preparing the compounds of general formula (I), wherein Rmeans hydrogen, C1 4alkyl or (C1 5alkoxy)carbonyl group; R1stands for a C1 6 alkyl, (C1 5alkyl)carbonyl, (C1 5alkoxy)carbonyl or (C1 5alkoxy)carbonyl-(C1 4alkyl) group; or a cyclohexyl group; or a cyclopentyl group; or a phenyl, furyl or thienyl group, optionally substituted, or a b-CH=CH group, wherein b is a phenyl group; or R and R1together form a C4 5alkylene group; R2represents a C1 5alkyl or phenyl group; R3means hydrogen or a C1 4alkyl group; or R2 and R3together form a pentylene group. By reacting a compound of general formula (II) with a compound of general formula (III) and/or reducing a compound of the general formula (IV),
