✦ Synopsis

Treatment of the enamine 2, formed by condensation of 2indanone and ethyl(2-methallyl)amine, with n-butyllithium yields 2-[ethyl(2-methallyl)amino]indenyllithium (3), whose structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Complex 3 exhibits an oligomeric supersandwich structure
