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