General description

3-Methylindene-2-carboxylic acid undergoes asymmetric hydrogenation over Pd/Al2O3 in the presence of cinchonidine as a chiral modifier.

Application

3-Methylindene-2-carboxylic acid was used in the synthesis of:
  • LKS01-B650, an imaging probe that selectively binds the catalytically active LMP7 subunit of immunoproteasome in living cells
  • 1-methylindane-2-carboxylic acid via reduction with sodium amalgam
