“…For example, the Suzuki–Miyaura, Negishi, and Murahashi couplings, carried out with 4‐ or 7‐halo‐1 H ‐indenes as substrates, afforded the corresponding arylindenes in moderate to high yields, as exemplified in Scheme for the conversion of 7‐bromo‐1 H ‐indene 370 into 7‐phenyl‐1 H ‐indene 371 . In another protocol, a Negishi‐type cross‐coupling reaction was successfully employed for the synthesis of 2‐(4‐ tert ‐butylcyclopenta‐1,4‐dienyl)‐1 H ‐indene 374 starting from 2‐bromo‐1 H ‐indene 372 and LiCp t Bu 373 , carried out in the presence of [Pd(dppf)Cl 2 ]⋅CH 2 Cl 2 and ZnCl 2 (Scheme ) . A Pd‐catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation, starting from 2‐bromoindenones 375 and leading to 1‐oxo‐3‐phenyl‐1 H ‐indene‐2‐carboxylates 376 , was also reported recently (Scheme ) …”
