The hydrindane (bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane) structural motif (<b>1</b>) and related <i>cis</i>-1-hydrindanone skeleton (<b>2</b>) are common substructures in many natural products. Herein, we describe efficient access to substituted <i>cis</i>-1-hydrindanones enabled by a sequence of Michael reactions. A copper-catalyzed intermolecular Michael addition of a cyclic silyl ketene acetal to a <i>β</i>-substituted-<i>α</i>-alkoxycarbonyl-cyclopentenone enables construction of a quaternary center and is fol ...[more]
