Indane dimerization products obtained by treatment of N-acylindan-1-amines with ethyl polyphosphate (EPP)

Abstract

This report describes the diverse dimeric products obtained by treatment of N-acylindan-1-amines with ethyl polyphosphate in chloroform–diethyl ether solution at 80 °C for 8 h. Possible mechanisms for such reactions are discussed.
