title: FeCl3 mediated intramolecular olefin-cation cyclization of cinnamates for the synthesis of highly substituted indenes.
abstract: Highly substituted indene derivatives were readily prepared in excellent yields with high regioselectivity under very mild reaction conditions by the FeCl3 mediated intramolecular olefin-cationic cyclization of cinnamates.
