Usage

Description

3-phenyl-1H-indene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C15H12. It is an indene, a type of aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered ring. This pale yellow to colorless liquid at room temperature is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and benzene. Due to its pleasant odor, it is commonly used in the production of synthetic flavors and fragrances, and also plays a role in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. Careful handling is required as it is a flammable liquid and can pose health hazards if inhaled or comes into contact with the skin.

The intramolecular reaction of acetophenoneN-tosylhydrazone and vinyl: Br?nsted acid-promoted cationic cyclization toward polysubstituted indenes

In the presence of TsNHNH2, a Br?nsted acid-promoted intramolecular cyclization ofo-(1-arylvinyl) acetophenone derivatives was developed, leading to polysubstituted indenes with complexity and diversity in moderate to excellent yields. In sharp contrast with either the radical or carbene involved cyclization of aldehydicN-tosylhydrazone with vinyl, a cationic cyclization pathway was involved, whereN-tosylhydrazone served as an electrophile and alkylation reagent during this transformation.

C 1-Symmetric Si-bridged (2-indenyl)(1-indenyl) ansa -metallocenes as efficient ethene/1-hexene copolymerization catalysts

In the search for more efficient single-center ethene/α-olefin copolymerization catalysts, metallocenes bearing a 2-indenyl substituent pattern have largely been ignored in the past. Here, we show that such a structural motif yields competent linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) catalysts. They are also relatively easy to synthesize, allowing for a wide structural amplification. A screening of 28 catalysts reveals that the lead catalyst in this study displays high comonomer affinity and molecular weight capability at industrially relevant temperatures. QSAR models show that steric factors likely contribute stronger than electronic factors to the observed substituent trends, both for comonomer affinity and MW capability.
