title: Rhenium-catalyzed diastereoselective synthesis of aminoindanes via the insertion of allenes into a C-H bond.
abstract: Aminoindane derivatives were synthesized diastereoselectively by the treatment of aromatic imines with allenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of a rhenium complex, [HRe(CO)(4)](n). The allenes inserted into the aromatic C-H bonds.
