4-METHYL-1-INDANONE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powder

Uses

4-Methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one acts as a reagent in the synthesis of the following organic compounds: 3,6-dimethylcholanthrene, 3,6-dimethyl-7-methoxycholanthrene and 3-methyl-7-methoxycholanthrene.

Uses

4-Methyl-1-indanone may be used for the following syntheses:

• 3,6-dimethylcholanthrene
• 3,6-dimethyl-7-methoxycholanthrene
• 3-methyl-7-methoxycholanthrene
• methyl 4-methyl-1-fluoroindan-1-carboxylate (4-Me-FICA Me ester)

General Description

4-Methyl-1-indanone on condensation with 2-lithio-N,N-diethyl-1-napthamide and 2-lithio-N,N-diethyl-8-methoxy-1-napthamide, followed by hydrolysis afforded 2-(1-hydroxy-4-methylindan-1-yl)-1-naphthoic acid lactone and 2-(1-hydroxy-4-methylindan-1-yl)-8-methoxy-1-naphthoic acid lactone respectively.
