Abstract
Various indenylethylamines are synthesized for the first time by reductive amination of 2-(1Hinden-1-yl)acetaldehyde with commercially available primary amines. In addition, a new twostep synthesis of 2-(1H-inden-1-yl)acetaldehyde that uses inexpensive indene and 2-bromo-1,1diethoxyethane as starting materials is presented. Finally, a selected indenylethylamine is used as a ligand precursor for the synthesis of a corresponding indenylethylamido titanium complex. The latter result paves the way for applications of corresponding complexes as catalysts for important chemical reactions.
