1,3-Indanedione Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

YELLOW TO GREEN FINE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

It is used in the first stage of forensic identification of latent fingerprints. It is particularly useful for paper, and for items printed with thermal inks such as receipts.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of indanones that is indane in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 4 have been replaced by oxo groups.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from EtOH or *C6H6. In dilute alkali it gives a deep yellow solution of the enol. [Bernasconi & Paschalis J Am Chem Soc 108 2969 1986]. [Beilstein 7 IV 2344.]
