Application

1-Indanone can be used to synthesize:
  • 11H-Indeno-[1,2-b]-quinolin-10-ylamine, a potential acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease.
  • CoumBARAC (coumarin fused biarylazacyclooctynone) for fluorogenic real-time imaging of azide-labeled biomolecules.
  • Light emitting, organic semiconductors such as 4-pyrenyl-2-piperidin-1-yl-9H-fluorene-1-carbonitrile and bisindenoanthrazolines for organic light emitting diode (OLED) applications.


It can also be used to build other indan-based systems like truxene, prekinamycin, indan-C60 and biindanylidenes.
