Indanone derivatives

Indanone derivatives contain a benzene ring fused to a five-membered cyclic ketone. The parent isomers, 1-indanone and 2-indanone, differ in carbonyl position, connectivity and reactive sites. Indanones also differ from indenones, indanols, indanes and indandiones in saturation or oxidation state.

Defined indanones serve as building blocks and substrates for ring-forming and carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions. These roles do not imply shared biological activity or end use. Verify the full name, CAS number, formula, carbonyl position, substitution pattern and stereochemistry. For an unlisted target, provide an exact structure or identifier with your custom-synthesis enquiry.
