Montmorillonite K10 clay-catalyzed synthesis of substituted 1-aryl indenes from Baylis-Hillman adducts
An eco-friend method for the synthesis of 1-aryl indenes from Baylis-Hillman adducts using Mont. K10 and microwave combination as catalyst system and a procedure for the synthesis of beta-phenyl-substituted-protected Baylis-Hillman adducts with highly Z-selectivity have been reported.
