Abstract

In contrast to lH-indene (la) and 1-methyl-lH-indene (lb), which give stable 1:2 adducts (3a, 34%; 3b, 30%) and with la also a 1:3 adduct (4a; 40% from la; 71% from 3a) with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), 1,1-dimethyl-lfl-indene (Id) and DMAD gave as the only crystalline product a cycloadduct of different structural type, dimethyl la,7b-cts-dihydro-l,1-dimethyl-lfl-cyclopropa[o]naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylate (5a, 14%), the structure of which has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
