Abstract
A concise procedure for the one-step synthesis of isotruxene has been developed. Isotruxene is obtained in around 60% yield on a 150-gram scale through acid-catalysed cyclotrimerisation of equimolar amounts of 1-indanone and 2-indanone. The separation procedure is convenient and is based on different solubilities between isotruxene and side products.
