An example of a Lie algebra with $[R,S]=R$

Question

What is an example of a complex linear Lie algebra $ L$ such that its radical $R$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb C$ and $[R,S]=R$ where $S$ is the maximal semisimple subalgebra of $L$?

Answer 1

As I wrote in the comment, I am not sure if the question is well-defined as it is. However, I think the following observation should solve any specification of it.

If $L$ is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$, and the radical $R$ of $L$ is one-dimensional, then $R$ is central, i.e. $[A, R] =0$ for any subalgebra $A \subseteq L$.

Proof: Assume not, then since $R$ is an ideal and one-dimensional we have $[L, R] =R$. This means that the Lie algebra homomorphism $L \rightarrow \mathfrak{gl}(R)$, $x \mapsto ad_R(x)$ is non-zero. Since $[R,R] =0$ because $R$ is one-dimensional, this homomorphism factors through a non-zero hence surjective homomorphism

$$L/R \twoheadrightarrow \mathfrak{gl}(R)$$

But the right hand side is just the one-dimensional abelian Lie algebra, whereas the left hand side is semisimple. This is impossible, as by factoring out the kernel it would induce an iso between a non-zero semisimple LA and an abelian LA.
