ABSTRACT
The synthesis of new N-alkyl-N-aryl-5-indanamines is reported. 5-Aminoindane was first N-alkylated with different alkyl halides, and the resulting N-alkyl-5-indanamines were N-phenylated with organolead or organobismuth reagents to afford the corresponding diarylamines. Direct N-acylation of linear fused 1,2,3,10-tetrahydrocyclopenta-[b]phenothiazines provided the final N-acyl tetracyclic products.
