A novel type of migration of an alkyl group in the formation of indene derivatives from titanacyclopentadienes was found. When titanacyclopentadienes with four alkyl groups were heated at 50 degrees C in THF for 24 h under nitrogen, titanium dihydroindene complexes were formed. Oxidation of the dihydroindene complexes with oxygen or alkyl halides afforded indene derivatives with unusual migration of one alkyl group at the diene moiety to the five-membered ring of the indene derivatives.

The biodegradation of organic aromatic compounds in subsurface environments is often hindered by limited dissolved oxygen. While oxygen supplementation can enhance in situ biodegradation, it poses financial and technical challenges. This study explores introducing low-oxygen concentrations in anaerobic environments for efficient contaminant removal, particularly in scenarios where coexisting pollutants are present.

Spirocyclic alkyl amino carbene (SCAAC) Ru complexes demonstrate outstanding activity and selectivity in ethenolysis of methyl oleate (MO) or fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), and 5,6-dimethoxyindane derivative was the most active catalyst to date. For the further catalyst design, we proposed modifying the spirocyclic fragment by fusion of saturated carbo- or heterocycle, linked to the 5,6-positions of indane or 6,7- positions of tetralin. Another suggested way of the modification of SCAAC complex was the insertion of chromane fragment to the carbene ligand.

Bracken fern ( sp.) is a viable and vigorous plant with invasive potential, ingestion of which causes chronic illness and cancers in farm animals. Bracken is a suspected human carcinogen, and exposure can result from ingestion of bracken-contaminated water, dairy products, or meat derived from livestock grazing on bracken fern.

The synthesis of phosphorous indenoquinolines and their biological evaluation as topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitors and antiproliferative agents were performed. First, the preparation of new hybrid 5-indeno[2,1-]quinolines with a phosphine oxide group was performed by a two-step Povarov-type [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction between the corresponding phosphorated aldimines with indene in the presence of BF·EtO. Subsequent oxidation of the methylene present in the structure resulted in the corresponding indeno[2,1-]quinolin-7-one phosphine oxides .

Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline and piperidine derivatives were selectively synthesized from substituted indenes or cyclopentenes. The process starts with an oxidative cleavage of the ring olefin bond, which gives reactive diformyl intermediates. By a ring-closing step using chiral (R) or (S) α-methylbenzylamine under a reductive amination protocol facilitated ring formation with ring expansion of the corresponding nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
