As a type of important carbocyclic compounds, indenes and spiroindenes are not only widely found in natural products but extensively employed as synthetic building blocks in materials, pharmaceuticals, and asymmetric synthesis. An efficient and rapid synthesis of indenes and spiroindenes via the annulation of benzylic alcohols (or aryl-substituted cycloalkanols) with alkynes in the presence of TiCl₄ or AlCl₃ was desclosed. This reaction is normally completed within 30 min at room temperature and compatible with a variety of substituted alkynes. Two new C—C bonds are constructed during the reaction. Cycloalkanols such as cyclobutanol, cyclohexanol, cycloheptanol, cyclooctanol, and cyclododecanol are suitable substrates to afford a set of valuable spiroindenes. This method is featured with simple operation, short reaction time, and mild reaction conditions.
