an efficient and direct procedure for the synthesis of benzo[h]-indeno[1,2-b]-quinoline derivatives has been described. the procedure employs a three-component condensation reaction in one-pot using 2h-indene-1, 3-dione, naphthalen-1-amine,and aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of l-prolinein aqueous media.

The synthesis of dibenzyl-(1S*,2S*)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1,2-dicarboxylate has been realized through a diastereospecific bis-alkoxycarbonylation reaction, which starts from the cheap and easily available 1H-indene, benzyl alcohol, carbon monoxide. catalyst is formed in situ by mixing Pd(TFA)2, ligand N2,N3-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)butane-2,3-diimine, p-benzoquinone used as an oxidant, alcohol ac...

In the title mol-ecule, C25H14O4, the fused-ring system consisting of four rings is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 9.62 (5)° between the planes of the indene ring system and the benzene ring. The di-hydro-indene-1,3-dione unit makes a dihedral angle of 63.50 (2)° with the mean plane of the fused-ring system. A weak C-H⋯O inter-action organizes the mol-ecules into a helical chain...

o-(Alkynyl)styrenes undergo halocarbocyclization processes via a 5-endo-dig ring closure. By this strategy an efficient synthesis of 3-halo-1H-indene derivatives has been developed.

We prepared a brand new molecule in one step for the synthesis of bis-indolylindane-1,3-dione and indan-1,3-diones from the reaction of ninhydrin and 3 substituted/unsubstituted indoles using [Hbim]BF4 ionic liquid in excellent yields. The method was also used for the synthesis of novel indene-1,3(2H)-denies derivatives.
