Abstract

A practical and short synthesis of FDA approved drug, Rotigotine, is achieved in two steps from 5-methoxy-2-tetralone, which in turn was synthesised by [4+2] cycloaddition of the in situ generated methoxyaryne from its precursor aryl triflate with benzyloxybutadiene or from 4-methoxyindanone via ring expansion using trimethylsilyldiazomethane.
