Abstract
A three-component, solvent-dependent, Brønsted-acid-catalyzed reaction of benzaldehydes, silyl enolates and arene nucleophiles has been developed for the synthesis of potential drug candidate 3-aryl-1-indanones. This reaction features the formation of three C-C bonds, high regioselectivity in a one-pot strategy, broad substrate generality, facile scalability (1.04g), high functional group tolerance and viable substrates. The β-O-silyl ethers generated in-situ from the Mukaiyama aldol reaction were subjected to acid-catalyzed benzylic arylation with strong as well as weak nucleophiles, and the resultant β,β-diaryl esters can undergo a third C-C bond formation with excellent regioselectivity through intramolecular cyclization to afford the indanone products in the same pot. Detailed mechanistic insight leads to a feasible reaction pathway. This transformation opens up a practical and adaptable approach to producing a variety of synthetically valuable transformations and enable the synthesis of medicinally valuable (R)-tolterodine and (+)-indatraline.

Abstract
An efficient protocol for the synthesis of indole-substituted indanes from o-alkenylbenzaldehydes under acetalization conditions has been presented. The cyclization occurs via a nucleophilic addition of indole on the oxacarbenium ion generated from acetal formed under the reaction condition followed by a conrotatory 4π-electrocyclization reaction, which takes care of the exclusive diastereoselectivity observed during the cyclization step. Olefin geometry of o-alkenylbenzaldehyde and the amount of indole play a decisive role in the success of this cyclization process.

Abstract
This review describes methods for the synthesis of 1-trifluomethylindanes and close structures, which are still quite rare and scarcely available compounds. There are two main approaches to obtain 1-CF3-indanes. The first one is the construction of an indane system from CF3 precursors; the main methods are acid-mediated Friedel–Crafts cyclization, transition metal-catalyzed [3+2] annulation, and free-radical transformations. The second approach is the trifluoromethylation of a ready-made indane core by various CF3 sources, such as Ruppert–Prakash or Togni reagents. Many of these synthetic procedures possess high regio- and stereo-selectivity, allowing the preparation of unique 1-CF3-indane structures. In recent years, great attention has been paid to the synthesis of 1-CF3-indanes, due to the discovery of important biologically active properties for these compounds.

Abstract
"The extraordinary instability of such an "ion" accounts for many of the peculiarities of organic reactions" - Franck C. Whitmore (1932). This statement from Whitmore came in a period where carbocations began to be considered as intermediates in reactions. Ninety years later, pointing at the strong knowledge acquired from the contributions of famous organic chemists, carbocations are very well known reaction intermediates. Among them, destabilized carbocations - carbocations substituted with electron-withdrawing groups - are, however, still predestined to be transient species and sometimes considered as exotic ones. Among them, the CF3-substituted carbocations, frequently suggested to be involved in synthetic transformations but rarely considered as affordable intermediates for synthetic purposes, have long been investigated. This review highlights recent and past reports focusing on their study and potential in modern synthetic transformations.

Abstract
Trimethylsilyl ethers of 1,5-diaryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-pent-1-en-4-yn-3-oles [Ar-C≡C-C(CF3)(OSiMe3)-CH═CH-Ar'] in the superacid TfOH give rise to reactive conjugated CF3-allylic-propargylic cations [Ar-C≡C-C+(CF3)-CH═CH-Ar']. These species react with arenes in the presence of 1.5 equiv of TfOH forming regio- and stereoselectively E-1,1,5-triaryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-pent-2-en-4-ynes [Ar-C≡C-C(CF3)═CH-CHAr'(Ar″)] in good yields. In the excess of TfOH, these CF3-pentenynes are further intramolecularly cyclized into CF3-bicyclic dihydroanthracene derivatives ("helicopter"-like molecules). The CF3-pentenynes may also react with arenes, as external nucleophiles, leading to CF3-indenes. These two main reaction pathways depend on internal nucleophilicity of aryl substituents in CF3-pentenynes and external nucleophilicity of aromatic molecules. Plausible cationic reaction mechanisms have been discussed. CF3-bicyclic dihydroanthracene derivatives have been studied regarding their cytotoxicity and virus-inhibiting activity against influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) in MDCK cell line.

Abstract
Protonation of oxygen in the side chain of the Me3SiO group (followed by the elimination of Me3SiOH) and protonation of the thiophene ring in 2-chloro(or bromo)-5-(1'-Me3SiO-1'-trifluoromethyl-alkyl)thiophenes in Brønsted superacids (CF3SO3H, FSO3H) gave rise to short-lived and reactive trifluoroalkyl carbocations of the thiophene series. These cations were studied by low-temperature NMR spectroscopy in the superacids, which shed light on their reactivity and reaction mechanisms. The cations may react with (hetero)aromatic π-nucleophiles in various directions, depending on their structures as well as the reaction temperature and time. These transformations resulted in the formation of novel fluoro-organics of the thiophene family, namely, products of arylation of both the thiophene system and its side chain, hydrodehalogenation of halothiophenes, or electrophilic "dimerization".
