General Description

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