A facile synthesis of 2-arylindenes by Pd-catalyzed direct arylation of indene with aryl iodides

Abstract A series of 2-arylindenes were prepared by the reaction of aryl iodides with indene in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2.

Cyclopentadienes Annelated with Five-membered Heterocycles: Methods of Synthesis, Heteroorganic Derivatives, and Synthetic Precursors. (Review)

The review is devoted to cyclopentadienes annelated with five-membered heterocycles (furan, pyrrole, thiophene, and their benzo analogs) (hetarenocyclopentadienes), their heteroorganic derivatives, and the synthetic precursors (hetarenocyclopentanones).
