Description

General description

2-Methyl-1-indanone, a α-benzocycloalkenone[1], is a derivative of 1-indanone. Its synthesis has been reported.[2][3][4] The enzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of racemic 2-methyl-1-indanone has been studied.[5] The asymmetric α-arylation[6] and hydroxymethylation of 2-methyl-1-indanone has been reported.[7] It participated in the synthesis of 2-methyl-6-carboxyazulene.[8]

Application

2-Methyl-1-indanone may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of β-benzocycloalkenone.[1] It may be used in the synthesis of the following:

• cyclohex-2-en-1-yl 2-methyl-1H-inden-3-yl carbonate[9]
• 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-indanone[10]
• O-alkoxycarbonylation of lithium enolates[11]
