Synthesis of tricyclic ketones containing an angular methyl group in ‘superacid’ media

Abstract
In the ‘superacid’ SbF5–HF, substituted 1,2-diphenylethanes undergo cyclisation via diprotonated species to afford in good yield tricyclic ketones containing an angular methyl group as primary products; isomerisation of these products occurs with longer reaction times.
