Synthesis
The chemical synthesis of indriline has been described:[3][4]

Treatment of 3-phenylindene [1961-97-3] (1) with n-butyl lithium and dimethylamino-2-choroethane gave indriline as well as some inactive isomer. Based on neighboring group participation (NGP), the reaction intermediate is presumably an aziridinium ion[4]
According to Molbase the number of routes for preparing the starting 3-phenylindene is rich. For example from dihydrochalcone.[5] A more classical synthesis is also described in a Pyrophendane patent.
