Described here is the first report of an unexpected thermal-ring rearrangement (TRR) of benzochromenes to indene derivatives promoted by pTsOH. This cascade ring-rearrangement proceeds through the protonation of benzochromenes by an acid catalyst followed by ring-opening and ring-closure by an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization to provide a new bicyclic framework, inden-3-yl-naphthols bearing a quaternary center, which also exhibited atropisomerism. Regioselectivity, broad substrate scope, high yields, solvent-free conditions and atom economy are the additional high points of this ring-rearrangement.

Several compounds with high birefringence and, having tolane structure were synthesized. For a high polarizability, isothiocyanato (NCS) terminal group was introduced. Another goal of this study was reduction of melting point and smectic phases by introduction of fluorine as lateral substituent. The transition temperatures for all the synthesized compounds and the refractive and dielectric indices for one of the compounds have been determined. Electro-optic (EO) measurements were also performed.
