Abstract

A series of multi-methyl-substituted indenes as well as allylindene, n-propylindene, n-but-1- enylindene, and n-butylindene have been prepared in good yields. The substituted indenes were converted into trimethylsilyl derivatives via reactions of intermediate organolithium complexes with chlorotrimethylsilane. The corresponding titanium complexes were synthesized in excellent yields from reactions of the trimethylsilyl derivatives with TiCl4. ...
